Roberts, Scott W.
Journal of Health Education, v26 n3 p146-50 May-Jun 1995
This study examined the effectiveness of school-based drug education in affecting knowledge, attitudes, decision making, motivation, and self-esteem. Pre- and postintervention surveys of fourth through eighth graders indicated that self-esteem did not improve significantly. Knowledge and attitude scores improved significantly, with a positive correlation between decision making and knowledge/attitudes. (SM)
