Intervention
Drugs Ruin Lives: Make Wise
Choices
1) Activity worksheet
Break into groups of 2-3 children. Children answer questions on sheet, as best as possible. Aid
and clarify as needed.
2) Discussion
Students are then asked to provide answers. Addressing one question to the next and
explaining/clarifying as needed.
Poster broad was used in conjunction with questions such as: Can you name a drug? Students
then answer and a visual of the drug was provided.
3) Games
Popcorn, students are asked a question such as, What do you want to be when you grow up? A
ball is passed around and when a student catches the ball, they answer the question and pass to
next student.
Hangman with quotes such as: Dont do pot, your brain will rot.
Throughout discussion, candy will be passed out for participation. During popcorn, we ensured
everybody received candy for their response.
Evidence to Support
Our Intervention
Article titled, School-based programmes to reduce and prevent substance
use in different age groups: What works for whom? Systematic review and
meta-regression analysis.
Addressing primary developmental challenges such as basic skills and
helping them master academic and social situations can be beneficial
(Onrust, Otten, Lammers, & Smit, 2016).
The analyses of programs for high risk students suggested that drawing the
attention to substance use can even be harmful in this developmental stage,
as several substance use prevention strategies addressing substances were
related to adverse outcomes in high risk students (Onrust, Otten, Lammers,
& Smit, 2016).
