Abstract

The National 4-H Council developed the Health Rocks substance abuse educational program to prevent youth from engaging in risky behaviors. The program was presented in 2010 to more than 8,000 middle school youth in Georgia. A post-then-pre evaluation was conducted with youth who completed 10 hours of instruction to determine if changes in youth knowledge, beliefs/attitudes, skills, and behavioral intentions occurred during the course of the program. This study sought to measure the impact of the program and critically evaluate the questionnaire used. The data revealed statistically significant increases in knowledge, beliefs/attitudes, skills, and behavioral intentions of participating youth. Suggestions for improvement of the questionnaire included utilizing questions that are more specific to the curriculum and adding questions to measure the influence of peer pressure.

4-H健康岩石计划的评估:对计划改进的启示。
全国4-H委员会制定了“健康之石”药物滥用教育计划,以防止青少年从事危险行为。该项目于2010年向格鲁吉亚8000多名中学生提供。对完成了10小时指导的青少年进行了前后评估,以确定他们的知识、信念/态度、技能和行为意图在项目过程中是否发生了变化。本研究旨在衡量该计划的影响,并对所使用的问卷进行批判性评估。数据显示,参与的青少年在知识、信念/态度、技能和行为意图方面有统计学上的显著增加。改进问卷的建议包括使用更具体的课程问题和增加问题来衡量同伴压力的影响。
