  • Title: Implementing drug education in schools: an analysis of the costs and teacher perceptions.
    Author: Tricker R, Davis LG.
    Journal: J Sch Health; 1988 May; 58(5):181-5. PubMed ID: 3386197.
    Abstract:
    This study examined conditions in which two substance abuse prevention curricula were implemented in three Oregon school districts. Data related to teachers' involvement were collected from on-site interviews in 21 schools using a 43-item personal interview questionnaire with a stratified random sample of 44 teachers of drug education. Information provided by district program coordinators included details of inservice training, and financial costs to implement the Here's Looking at You, Two, (HLAY, II) and Starting Early curricula with 4,325 students. Teacher perceptions related to their responsibility for implementing the program, the quality of the curriculum, quality of the inservice, quality of the implementation procedures, and degree of teacher compliance for teaching the curricula. Results from teacher interviews and time and financial costs analysis could prove useful to school districts, building administrators, and teachers who plan to implement school-based drug education programs.
