Abstract

The Drug Education in Victorian Schools program provided integrated education about licit and illicit drugs, employed a harm minimization approach that incorporated participatory, critical thinking and skill-based teaching methods, and engaged parental influence through home activities. A cluster-randomized, controlled trial of the program was conducted with a student cohort during Year 8 (13 years) and Year 9 (14 years). Twenty-one secondary schools in Victoria, Australia, were randomly allocated to the Drug Education in Victorian Schools program (14 schools, n = 1,163) or their usual drug education program (7 schools, n = 589). This study reports program effects for alcohol. There was a greater increase in the intervention students' knowledge about drugs, including alcohol; there was a greater increase in communication with parents about alcohol; they recalled receiving more alcohol education; their alcohol consumption increased less; and they experienced a lesser increase in alcohol-related harms. Among intervention group risky drinkers, consumption and harm increased less. There were no differences between study groups in attitudes toward alcohol or in the proportion of drinkers or risky drinkers. While the program did not stop students taking up drinking, it did reduce their consumption and harm.

酒精预防和在校学生:来自澳大利亚一项为期2年的综合危害最小化学校毒品教育试验的发现。
维多利亚州学校的毒品教育方案提供了关于合法和非法毒品的综合教育,采用了危害最小化的方法,其中包括参与性、批判性思维和基于技能的教学方法,并通过家庭活动发挥父母的影响。在8年级(13岁)和9年级(14岁)的学生中进行了一项集群随机对照试验。澳大利亚维多利亚州的21所中学被随机分配到维多利亚州学校毒品教育项目(14所学校,n = 1163)和他们通常的毒品教育项目(7所学校,n = 589)。这项研究报告了酒精的程序效应。接受干预的学生对包括酒精在内的毒品的知识有了更大的提高;与父母就酒精问题的沟通增加了;他们回忆说接受了更多的酒精教育;他们的饮酒量增加较少;他们经历的酒精相关危害的增加较少。在干预组中,危险饮酒者的消费量和危害增加较少。研究小组之间对酒精的态度、饮酒者或危险饮酒者的比例没有差异。虽然该计划并没有阻止学生喝酒,但它确实减少了他们的消费和伤害。
