NHTSA PREVENTION GUIDE. THE BEST PREVENTION: MODEL ALCOHOL AND DRUG EDUCATION PROGRAM

This guide has been developed for school administrators, parents, teachers and community groups who are interested in developing effective alcohol and drug abuse prevention programs for elementary and secondary schools. It attempts to describe a comprehensive approach to school-based alcohol and drug abuse prevention, and to relate prevention activities to highway safety issues. There are five chapters, each focusing on a different but related approach. Chapter 1 describes classroom education and teacher training, Chapter 2 describes parent education, Chapter 3 describes community approaches, Chapter 4 describes two types of early intervention, and Chapter 5 describes the need for clear and realistic school policies regarding alcohol and drug use abuse, and provides guidelines for policy development. Sample materials and forms from each model prevention approach are included with this guide.
