Prevalent and Preferred Styles in Drug Education

Abstract

A survey of prevalent and preferred drug education styles revealed that a significant difference (p < .002) exists between the present approach to drug education and the preferred. Attitudes concerning program design, student involvement in planning and implementation of programs, in-service training of educators, and the focus of drug education were also polled by the questionnaire mailed to the drug education specialists in Mississippi. The attitudes of the drug education specialists were found to be in congruence with the national attitudes toward the above mentioned areas.
