“…Prevention programmes targeted at schools have been developed in the U.S.A. and Norway. However, caution has to be taken in designing these programmes as there is evidence that past attempts to prevent drug abuse in school children may have had the opposite effect, leading to increased experimentation (Swisher et aE.,197 1; Stuart, 1974;Kinder et al, 1980;De Haes, 1987). Similarly, some anorexics and bulimics report having taken up vomiting or abusing laxatives only when they discovered that others have tried to control their weight in this way.…”

Results from a longitudinal experiment to curb drug use during junior high indicate that education programs based on a social-influence model can prevent or reduce young adolescents' use of cigarettes and marijuana. This multi-site experiment involved the entire seventh-grade cohort of 30 junior high schools drawn from eight urban, suburban, and rural communities in California and Oregon. Implemented between 1984 and 1986, the curriculum's impact was assessed at 3-, 12-, and 15-month follow-ups. The program, which had positive results for both low- and high-risk students, was equally successful in schools with high and low minority enrollment. However, the program did not help previously confirmed smokers and its effects on adolescent drinking were short-lived.

“…In a review of outcome studies of drug and alcohol education programmes, Kinder, Pape and Walfish (1980), found considerable disagreement in the literature, about the ability to predict outcome in alcohol dependent individuals, and many studies indicated that attributes of a patient were more closely related to outcome than to characteristics of programmes. This is supported by Edwards, Brown, Duckitt, Oppenheimer, Taylor and Taylor (1987) who suggest that very active strategies are needed to help a highly dependent patient, while those with more responsible attributes and low dependence may require different strategies.…”
