Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Programs that reduce drug experimentation typically focus on teaching young people skills for resisting peer pressure, which can be a major factor in drug use. These programs may also emphasize the negative consequences of drug use and promote healthy alternatives to drug-taking behaviors. They are typically aimed at students and may involve community outreach and support, but they also involve families and parents to some degree. While no program can guarantee a zero relapse rate, effective programs have been shown to significantly reduce drug use among young people. Programs that increase the social acceptability of drug taking are unlikely to be effective in reducing experimentation.
