Peer counseling: Drug and alcohol abuse prevention
1Salt Lake County Division of Mental Health, 640B Wilmington Ave., 84106, Salt Lake City, UT.
Abstract:
A peer counseling program was developed as a method for preventing drug and alcohol abuse among high school juniors and seniors. The program was implemented and the results were monitored to evaluate the impact of the program on the students. An analysis of the data showed that the students were able to learn and utilize peer counseling skills but that the prevention of drug abuse could not be documented in this study. Subjective reports, however, were found to support the effects of the program.
