An Update on Adolescent Drug Use: What School Counselors Need to Know
Watkins, Katherine E.; Ellickson, Phyllis L.; Vaiana, Mary E.; Hiromoto, Scott
Professional School Counseling, v10 n2 p131-138 Dec 2006
School counselors need to have accurate and age-appropriate prevention education information in order to counsel teens on drug use. This article presents developmentally specific prevention materials for the most important emerging substances of abuse: Ecstasy, methamphetamine, cough and cold medication, prescription opiates and stimulants, and the "date rape" drugs. Because developing appropriate materials requires understanding how adolescents develop, an expert panel approach was used, supplemented with a literature review and teen focus groups.
