Drug Education: Reasons and Failures
Smith, Cameron V.
Journal of Drug Education, 1, 4, 373-389, Dec 71
This paper contains 50 reasons" used to explain increasing drug abuse by youth, grouped into 10 categories: criminal elements, minorities, youth, adults, homes, schools, churches, corporate system, political system, and society. The interplay of reasons is extremely complicated; hence educational or remedial programs built upon simplistic cause models will be relatively ineffective. Thorough, honest drug education is nevertheless deemed necessary. (Author)
