Alcohol and drug education: models and outcomes
Health Education Monographs
|January 1, 1978
Summary
This study analyzes knowledge-attitude-behavior and values-based models for drug education programs. It identifies theoretical issues and reviews evidence, offering recommendations for drug and health education.
Area of Science:
- Health Education
- Behavioral Science
- Program Development
Background:
- Knowledge-attitude-behavior (KAB) and values-based models are frequently used in designing drug education.
- These models guide the development and evaluation of interventions aimed at modifying drug-related behaviors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of KAB and values-based models in drug education.
- To identify theoretical challenges associated with these models.
- To review existing empirical evidence on their effectiveness.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of theoretical frameworks.
- Analysis of experimental evidence on model application in drug education programs.
- Identification of theoretical problems and programming implications.
Main Results:
- Theoretical problems were identified within the KAB and values-based models.
- Experimental evidence regarding the application of these models to drug education was reviewed.
- The review highlighted areas for improvement in model utilization.
Conclusions:
- Recommendations are provided for enhancing the theoretical foundation of drug education models.
- Suggestions are made for improving program development and evaluation strategies.
- Implications for future research in drug and general health education are discussed.

01:15Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena
1.1K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

01:27CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine
993
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

Drug control governance involves the oversight and regulation of pharmaceuticals to ensure their safety and efficacy while preventing illegal drug use and trafficking. Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's European Medicines Agency (EMA), play a central role in this process. These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with...

Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Psychoactive drugs impact brain function, influencing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances are grouped based on their effects and the mechanisms by which they act.
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and nicotine enhance brain activity, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. These drugs typically raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. While they can induce feelings of euphoria, their misuse can result in severe health...
