Abstract

The present study involved an eight week drug-abuse prevention program for seventh grade students from an all Black inner-city elementary school. Those provided the program showed greater drug knowledge and better problem-solving skills in drug related situations over time than the controls. The present study suggests that the combination of information, decision-making and problem-solving strategies is a promising approach in the prevention of substance abuse among children.
