Adolescent Substance Use Prevention Interventions Outside of Classroom Settings

Abstract: Substance use prevention programs empowering individual adolescents to resist substance use through education and skills training are crucial to reducing substance use within this population. However, existing programs of this type are designed primarily for classroom use, and may not meet the needs of social workers intervening with adolescents outside classroom settings. A literature review identified six programs that have demonstrated statistically significant reductions in substance use when implemented o… Show more

“…Contrary to earlier findings that negative peer association enhances susceptibility to drug use, Smokowski, Reynolds and Bezruczko (2000) have found that resilient adolescents refuse to be enticed by the apparent exhilaration of the risk-taking behaviour of their peers, but instead learn from the consequences of this behaviour in others. Hill (2008), however, found that adolescents benefit from observational learning only if they consider themselves susceptible to the harmful consequences of drug use. Giving credence to this contention, Karcher et al (2004:193) postulate that peer interaction has many "positive, growth-promoting qualities" which can be used to promote positive youth development.…”

“…En effet, pour certains, il est préférable de cibler l'augmentation, voire le développement, des facteurs de protection (Bond et Hauf, 2007;Gouvernement du Québec, 2006;Santé Canada, 2001) alors que pour d'autres, une approche axée sur la diminution ou le contrôle des facteurs de risque est préfé-rable (Skiba, Monroe et Wodarski, 2004;Vitaro et Gagnon, 2003). Pour certains encore, les programmes de prévention se basant à la fois sur les facteurs de risque et les facteurs de protection s'avéreraient les plus efficaces (Botvin et Griffin, 2007;Hill, 2008).…”

“…Ainsi, des qualités telles que l'empathie, la compétence en matière de toxicomanie et de relation d'aide, la souplesse quant à la place des jeunes dans l'animation, la capacité à motiver les jeunes à s'impliquer lors des activités de prévention (Santé Canada, 2001), à poser des questions qui suscitent des réponses réfléchies chez les adolescents et à éviter que ceux-ci entretiennent un discours déviant lors des activités (Hill, 2008) de même que la crédibilité de l'animateur (Paglia et Room, 1999) assureraient la réussite d'une animation. Notons enfin qu'en ce qui concerne l'intervention auprès des parents, le professionnel aurait avantage à connaître la communauté et la clientèle auprès de laquelle il réalisera ses interventions préventives (Vitaro et coll., 1999).…”
