Declining Drug Use in Relation to Increased Drug Education: A Trend Study 1979-1991.

Smart, Reginald G.; And Others

Journal of Drug Education, v23 n3 p125-32 1993

Examined data from repeated cross-sectional probability surveys of alcohol/drug use conducted biennially since 1979 in Ontario schools to determine relationships between classroom alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis education and student use of these substances. Found strong inverse association between increases in exposure to alcohol and drug education and reported use levels, especially for alcohol and for seventh graders. (Author/NB)
