A World of Drug Abuse.
Horan, John J.; And Others
This third chapter in "Elementary School Counseling in a Changing World" contains five journal articles which focus on substance abuse prevention. "Perspectives on Substance Abuse Prevention" by John Horan, Andres Kerns, and Christine Olson emphasizes how important it is for children to be able to say "no" to drugs and provides a review of substance abuse prevention programming over the past 20 years. "Putting It All Together: Quest's Skills for Growing Program" by Hank Resnik describes a program developed by Quest International to provide substance abuse prevention to students in kindergarten through fifth grade. "Dilemma Discussion in Drug Education" by Edwin Gerler, Jr. describes a 10-session program to help middle school students progress in their reasoning about using drugs."Moral Reasoning in Early Adolescence: Implications for Drug Abuse Prevention" by Phyllis Mohr, Norman Sprinthall, and Edwin Gerler, Jr. presents a study examining adolescent thinking as it relates to judgments about abusing drugs. "Helping Children of Alcoholic Parents: An Elementary School Program" by Ruth Davis, Patricia Johnston, Lena DiCicco, and Alan Orenstein describes a therapeutically oriented alcohol education group in elementary schools to help children cope with family alcoholism and prevent them from abusing alcohol themselves. The chapter concludes with a set of issues for elementary school counselors to consider about a world of drug abuse. (NB)
