Thông tin chi tiết

Tóm tắt :

iv, 83 p. This publication provides a review of recent studies that shed light on the extent to which substance use by school-age young people in Europe is a problem, the reasons why young people drink, take drugs or smoke, and the best opportunities for prevention. Emphasis is placed on the capacity of well designed educational programmes in schools to influence substance-related attitudes and behaviour. Throughout, findings from recent research are supported by abundant practical examples of successful interventions, including several innovative projects. The first three chapters look at drinking, drug use and tobacco use by young people. Each chapter follows a similar format, beginning with an assessment of the extent to which the substance is misused, followed by a review of the reasons why youth use the substance and concluding with a discussion of the harm caused to youth. A second group of chapters outlines opportunities for prevention within the school setting. Individual chapters introduce the concept of health-promoting schools, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different school-based preventive measures, and offer advice on the aims, content and steps involved in the development of a school policy. Affective and skills-based approaches, preferably led by peers, were judged the most effective, with facts-only programmes receiving the most negative evaluations. This booklet offers valuable and useful reading to anyone interested in preventing substance use by young people. It is particularly valuable to health, education and other professionals active in this field.
