- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of inner-city youths toward drug prevention/education programs. This study examines the perception of drug prevention/education programs from the youths' point of view, in other words, do the youths feel that the programs are helpful. The population for this study were eighty-one inner-city youth currently enrolled in three alternative school in Atlanta, Georgia. A questionnaire was randomly administered to examine the attitudes of the participants. Results indicated that the youths felt a need for drug education programs, and that the programs were helpful, but also felt the programs are a waste of their time and that they had not learned anything helpful. The researcher concluded that a different approach to drug education programs is needed, perhaps one that is more interactive and personal rather than factual and impersonal.
