paper focuses on primary prevention of drug addiction, in particular the primary prevention programs implemented in school environments. It contains the results of a quantitative research conducted using a non-standardized questionnaire method. The study objective was to identify differences in attitudes of a group of pupils towards the issue of drug addiction before and after they completed the school-based prevention program.

The number of appropriate answers to the question “Alcohol makes people happy” increased by 18.82 %. respondents (62.70%) disagreed that they would adapt themselves if their opinion differed to the majority. The number of positive answers to the question “Smoking is addictive” increased by 13.66%; the number of positive answers to the question “Drinking alcohol is harmful” increased by 24.93%; and all respondents agreed with the statement that smoking threatens health.

Soft Drugs

Given the increasingly permissive nationwide attitude toward abuse of marijuana and other soft drugs, in what direction should school-based education/prevention programs move? After reviewing the history of such programs, the author offers a plan to decrease the incidence of adolescent drug abuse by utilizing an array of non-educational resources including youth oriented media. Achieving this goal will permit educational programs to shift their energies and resources back to primary prevention and away from intervention and treatment.

Teacher's Perception

Some drug prevention programs have attempted to re-focus the goals of their efforts into the areas of increased self-regard, behavioral change, and increased group cohesiveness. Aware of the many difficulties in evaluating such an approach, it was decided to measure changes in conscious self-regard, of students, the teacher's perception of this self-regard, and classroom group cohesiveness. There was a significant increase in cohesiveness and an accompanying increase in self-regard, though not quite statistically significant.
