The question of drug abuse prevention is examined in this booklet. Addressing itself to a variety of disciplines and professions, the book reveals the effectiveness of prevention programs implemented in classroom, school and community settings. It draws on the experiences of several dozen drug abuse prevention programs that were either visited or assessed as part of an intensive research and review process. Strategies and educational techniques for prevention programs are emphasized, and organizational models for schools, communities and minority groups are presented. The emphasis is on how individual people can reach across age and social barriers to work with youth and help them live without drugs. (Author/PK)
