ABSTRACT
Disturbing
high level of illicit drug use remain a problem among American teenagers . As
the physical , social , and psychological
‘home away from home’ for most youth , schools naturally assume a
primary role in substance abuse education , prevention , and early
identification . However , the use of random drug testing on students as a
components of drug prevention programmes
requires additional , more rigorous scientific evaluation . Widespread implementation
should a wait the result of . On going studies to address the effectiveness of
testing and evaluating possible inadvertent harm . If drug testing on students
in conducted , it should never be implemented in isolation . A comprehensive
assessment and therapeutic management
programmed for the student who
test positive should be I place before any testing is performed. Schools have the opportunity to
work with parent , health care professionals , and community officials to use
programmers with proven effectiveness , to identify students who show
behavioral risks for drug related problems, and to make referrals to a student
medical home . When use of an illicit substance is detected , schools can
foster relationship with established
health care expert to assist them . A student undergoing individualized
intervention for using illicit substance merits privacy . This requires that
awareness of the student’s physical , and only those designed school health
officials with a need to know . For the purposes of this statement , alcohol ,
tobacco, and inhalants are not addressed.
INTRODUCTION
Drug
and alcohol abuse are important problem that affect school – age youth at
earlier age than in the past . Youth people frequently being to experiment with
alcohol , tobacco, and other drug during the middle school years , with a
smaller number starting during elementary school. By the time students are in
high school, rate of substance use are remarkable high According to national survey data about on in
three twelfth graders reports being drunk or binge drinking in the past thirty
days . Many educators recognized that drug and alcohol abuse among students are
significant barrier to the achievement of educational objectives . Further more
, federal and state agencies and local school districts frequently mandate that
school provide health education classes
to students, including content on drug alcohol abuse .
Substance
abuse is not a school centered problem but one that impact the entire community . To effect change ,
institutions of higher education knowledge the need to from committees and
coalitions , comprised of administration , students , parents , faculty ,
alumni , school are tightening ,
regulations strengthening academic
requirement , adjusting course scheduling and offering excellent hours for
library and recreational facilities , while providing alternative alcohol- free
school sponsored activates .
Risk
of drug abuse increases greatly during risk of drug abuse increase greatly
during time of transition . I n early
adolescents hen children advance from elementary through middle school ,
they face new and challenging social and
academic situation . When they entire
high school , teens may encounter greater availably of drugs , drug use by
older teens , and social activates where drug are used .
The
term research based means that these programmed have been rationally designed
based on current scientific evidence , rigorously tested and show to produce
positive results. Scientific have developed a broad range of programmed that
positively alter the balance between risk and protective factor for drug abuse
in families , schools and communities.
By
the time they are seniors, almost 70 % of high school students will have tried alcohol , half will have taken an
illegal drug , nearly 40% will have used a prescription drug for a non medical
purpose . There are many reasons adolescent use these substance , including the
desire for new experience , an attempt
to deal with problems or perform better in school , and simple peer pressure .
Many factors influenced whether an high school students tries drugs , including
the availability of drug within the neighborhood ,
Global
increase in problems of illicit drug both reflect and contribute to international
tensions. The origins of some of these
tensions are clear rapid changes in political alignment , reduced family
and community cohesiveness’, increased
unemployment and under employment , economic and social marginalization
and increased crime. Environment damage
related to drug can be caused in essential three ways , clearing of forests or
land , growth and cultivation of plants and processing of harvested plants in
to drugs . Information dissemination is the most commonly used approach to drug and alcohol. Some
information dissemination approaches attempt to dramatize the danger of drug
abuse by using fear – arousal technique designed to attract attention and
frighten individuals in to not using drugs, accompanied by vivid portrayals of
the sever adverse consequences of drug abuse . It include classroom lecture
about danger of abuse , as well as educational pamphlets and other printed
martial’s and short film that impart information to Sundance about different
type of drugs and the negative consequents of use . Some programmed have police
officers come into the classroom and discussed law enforcement issue ,
including drug – related crime and penalties for buying or possessing illegal
drugs. Other programmers use doctors or other health professional to talk about
severs , often irreversible health effect of drug use . Evaluation studies of
information approaches to drug and
alcohol abuse a temporary impact on knowledge and anti drug attitudes can
occurred . It has became increasing clear that the etiology of drug and
alcohol abuse is complex , and
prevention strategies that really
primarily on the information dissemination are not effective in changing behavior.
The
social resistance approach is based on a conceptualization of adolescence drug
abuse as resulting from pro- drug social influence from peers persuasive
advertising appeal , and media portrayals encouraging drug use , along with
exposure to drug using role models. These resistance skill programmed focus on
skill training to increase students resistance
to negative social influence to engage in drug use , particularly peer
pressure.
Environment
damage related to drug can be caused in essential three ways : clearing of forest or land , growth and
cultivation of plants and processing of harvested plants in to drugs. The type
of environment damage found in any country
will depend plants or chemical substance in to drugs , or do process plants or chemical substance
in to drugs , or do both.
Since
coca growth wants to avoid police and military detection , they select remote
and difficult terrain to clear . According to recent report , “ coca farmers
cut down forests on steep hillside to erosion , instead of expanding cultivation of rich alluvial
soil on the valley floors” . An expert from Peru ’s National
Agrarian University West Asia . Another form of damage to environment caused
by growers of coca and opium results from the improper disposal of toxic waste
created during the processing of the plants material into a consume drug.
Historically
drug control and drug abuse consideration were not often viewed as issued of
primary concern for development planners , even in the context of programmed
following a basic needs strategy . This is because many development assistance
programmed were devoted either to promoting economic growth or to some aspect
of basic needs of the population to inter alia health or education . The economic
costs of drug abuse can be categorized as direct and indirect . Direct costs involving
increased costs of police , courts , military , treatment programmers, welfare
payments to drug addict and their family , as well as increased security
measures by business . Indirect economic costs include the displacement of
legal industries ; diminished control over the economy ; spending money for
drug and inappropriate use of money
gained from drug sales ; and fiscal problems related to the inability to the
tax the drug economy .
Alcohol
consumption could be an important determinant of how much a high school
students learn without having a strong impact on his or her decision to stay in
school or attend college . This question
is fundamental and timely , given recent research showing that underage
drinkers are subsection to the immediate consequent of alcohol use , including
blackouts, hangovers, and alcohol poisoning and are at elevated risk of
neurodegeneration , impairment in functional brain activates and
neurocognitive defects . A common and comprehensive measures of high
school students . Learning is grade point average (GPA) .GPA is an important
outcome because it is a key determinant of college admission decision and of
job quality for those who do not attend college. Only a few studies have
explore the association between alcohol use and GPA. Wolver (2002) and William
, Powell, and Wechsler(2003) have
investigated the effects of underage drinking on GPA during high school. The
latter study found a negative association between high school drinking and
grades , although it is not clear whether the effects are casual or the result
of unobserved heterogeneity.
Understanding
the relationship between teenage drinking and high school grades is pertinent
given the high prevalence of alcohol use among this age cohort and recent
research on adolescents brain development suggesting that early heavy alcohol use may have negative
effects. By affecting the quality of learning , underage drinking could have an
impact on both college admissions an job quality independent of its effect on
years of schooling or school completion .
OPERATIONAL DEFINITONS
CHALLENGE : According to Fuller and Myers “ Challenges is a condition which is
defined by a considerable number of some social norms , which they cherish”
DRUG ABUSE : Compulsive, excessive and self damaging
use of habit forming drug or substance , leas to addiction or dependence ,
serious psychological injury or psychological harms or death also called
substance abuse .
ALCOHOL ABUSE : The
alcohol abuse definition is similar to
alcohol is causing in that in both cases alcohol is causing harm to the
drinkers life and those around them . The difference is that those who
abuse alcohol , but are not yet
alcoholics . The key to the alcohol abuse definition is not in amount of
alcohol consumed but on in effect an individual .
OBJECTIVES

children in school and home.
DRUG ABUSE
PROGRAMMES AT SCHOOL
School may
adopt a variety of alternative to drug testing to address the issue of substance abuse including offering after - school programmers .
- Incorporating
life skill training in to drug education
curricula .
- Helping
parents become better informed .
- Provide
counseling.
- Identifying
problem behavior for early
intervention .
- Promptly
referring students to health care professionals for assessment and
intervention .
School based
health centre’s should have the capacity to counsel students who are in need of such treatment
plans and connect students to available community resource . Educators are
challenged to make the facts about drug abuse meaning to children and
adolescences . Without enacting them to try drugs. There are many curricula
designed for school use that have been proven to be effective and are delivered
to students in way that are interesting
, interactive and development
appropriate . Although many programmed
approaches are available , some effective programme focus on enhancing
students problem solving skill or aiding them
to evaluate the influence of the media
. Other effective programme help improve students self esteem , reduce
stress and anxiety or increase
activities. These skill are taught by sing a combination of method including
demonstration , practice , feedback and pries . Another proven approach is
‘life skill training’ , designed to teach skill to comfortable a problem –
specific focuses mphasizing the application of skill directly
to the problem of substance abuse.
Schools are appropriate setting for drug
prevention programmes for reasons
·
Prevention
must focus on children before their belief and exception about substance abuse are established .
·
School
offer the most systematic way of reaching high school Sundance.
·
School
can promote a broad spectrum of drug related educational polices Resource for the preparation of teachers
, counselors and other school personnel
may be a valuable adjunct .
