In this article, the test implementation of a school-oriented drug prevention program "Study without Drugs" is discussed. The aims of this study were to determine the results of the process evaluation and to determine whether the proposed school-oriented drug prevention program during a pilot project was effective for the participating pupils.
Sixty second-grade pupils at a junior high school in Paramaribo, Suriname participated in the test implementation. They were divided into two classes. For the process evaluation the students completed a structured questionnaire focusing on content and teaching method after every lesson. Lessons were qualified with a score from 0-10. The process was also evaluated by the teachers through structured interviews. Attention was paid to reach, dose delivered, dose received, fidelity, connection, achieved effects/observed behaviors, areas for improvement, and lesson strengths. The effect evaluation was conducted by using the General Liniair Model (repeated measure). The research (-design) was a pre-experimental design with pre-and post-test.
No class or sex differences were detected among the pupils with regard to the assessment of content, methodology, and qualification of the lessons. Post-testing showed that participating pupils obtained an increased knowledge of drugs, their drug-resisting skills were enhanced, and behavior determinants (attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy, and intention) became more negative towards drugs.
From the results of the test implementation can be cautiously concluded that the program "Study without Drugs" may yield positive results when applied in schools). Thus, this pilot program can be considered a step towards the development and implementation of an evidence-based school-oriented program for pupils in Suriname.
本文讨论了一项以学校为导向的药物预防项目“无毒品学习”的测试实施情况。本研究的目的是确定过程评估的结果,并确定在一个试点项目中所提出的以学校为导向的药物预防项目对参与的学生是否有效。
苏里南帕拉马里博一所初中的60名二年级学生参与了测试实施。他们被分成两个班级。对于过程评估,学生们在每节课后完成一份侧重于内容和教学方法的结构化问卷。课程以0至10分进行评分。教师也通过结构化访谈对过程进行评估。评估内容包括覆盖面、授课剂量、接受剂量、保真度、关联性、取得的效果/观察到的行为、改进领域和课程优点。效果评估采用一般线性模型(重复测量)。研究(设计)是一个带有前测和后测的预实验设计。
在学生对课程内容、方法和评分的评估方面,未发现班级或性别差异。后测显示,参与的学生对毒品的知识有所增加,他们的抗毒技能得到提高,并且行为决定因素(态度、主观规范、自我效能感和意图)对毒品变得更加消极。
从测试实施的结果可以谨慎地得出结论,“无毒品学习”项目在学校应用时可能会产生积极结果。因此,这个试点项目可以被视为朝着为苏里南学生制定和实施一个基于证据的以学校为导向的项目迈出的一步。
