Drugs4Real is an engaging, interactive program that can help you teach early adolescents about the
influence of drugs, focusing on strengthening skills for avoiding drug use. After a six-month follow-up
in the controlled study of the program, early teens who participated showed:
- Significantly higher knowledge about the effects and mechanisms of alcohol and other drugs
- Significantly greater intention to not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes
- Significantly higher self-efficacy to resist use of marijuana
- 85% retention at six-month follow-up
The program also includes a Teaching Tools component, to give you strategies for integrating
Drugs4Real into your school curriculum or community drug use prevention initiatives.
