Abstract

The high prevalence of cannabis use by Australian secondary school students makes schools an ideal setting for the delivery of substance use prevention programs. Although efficacious school-based cannabis prevention programs exist, there is scant research investigating the perceived role legitimacy and role importance of school staff. As such, this study surveyed a sample of 1691 Australian school staff by utilizing Generation Next seminars which are attended by professionals working with young people. The self-completed survey identified that, despite elevated contact with students relative to other school staff, teachers reported the least role importance and legitimacy of all school staff. Further, teachers reported the lowest level of staff drug education training, which was an important predictor of an increased feeling of role importance and legitimacy among school staff.

澳大利亚学校工作人员在解决学生使用大麻问题方面的角色合法性和角色重要性。
澳大利亚中学生使用大麻的高流行率使学校成为提供物质使用预防方案的理想场所。虽然存在有效的以学校为基础的大麻预防计划,但很少有研究调查学校工作人员的角色合法性和角色重要性。因此,这项研究通过利用下一代研讨会调查了1691名澳大利亚学校工作人员的样本,这些研讨会由与年轻人一起工作的专业人员参加。这项自我完成的调查发现,尽管与其他学校员工相比,教师与学生的接触增加了,但在所有学校员工中,教师的角色重要性和合法性最低。此外,教师报告的员工药物教育培训水平最低,这是学校员工角色重要性和合法性感增加的重要预测因子。
