Substance Abuse Prevention Program. Evaluation Report 1986-87.
Johns, Jennifer S.
In May 1986, the Albuquerque, New Mexico Public Schools adopted a policy to address concerns about student substance abuse. All schools developed objectives and activities to address substance abuse prevention and intervention, and an interdisciplinary team was formed to monitor and facilitate the schools' efforts in implementing the policy. To evaluate the schools' efforts, the prevention and intervention programs at one elementary, one middle, and one high school were evaluated. This report presents an evaluation of the three schools. It includes an administrative summary; a description of the district-wide substance abuse prevention program; an explanation of the evaluation design; and descriptions of the elementary, middle, and high school programs. Descriptions of the individual programs at the three schools contain sections on changes in student knowledge and attitudes; staff opinions of the prevention program; and at the middle and high school levels, student opinions of the program. The summary and conclusion note that: (1) all three schools were in compliance with most of the administrative procedures for implementation of the district's substance abuse policy; (2) the focus of the programs progressed from prevention in the lower grades to intervention in the upper grades; and (3) the elementary school program emphasized prevention through classroom education while the middle and high schools organized active prevention and intervention programs.
