The rising incidence of drug abuse among youths in Nigeria is a source of concern for health educators. This study was carried out on primary six pupils to determine the effect of a Multiple Intelligences Teaching Approach Drug Education Programme (MITA-DEP) on pupils' acquisition of drug refusal skills. A programme of drug education based on the Multiple Intelligences Teaching Approach (MITA) was developed. An experimental group was taught using this programme while a control group was taught using the same programme but developed based on the Traditional Teaching Approach. Pupils taught with the MITA acquired more drug refusal skills than those taught with the Traditional Teaching Approach. Urban pupils taught with the MITA acquired more skills than rural pupils. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean refusal skills of male and female pupils taught with the MITA.
尼日利亚青少年药物滥用发生率的上升令健康教育工作者感到担忧。本研究以小学六年级学生为对象，旨在确定多元智能教学法药物教育项目（MITA - DEP）对学生获得药物拒绝技能的影响。基于多元智能教学法（MITA）开发了一个药物教育项目。对实验组采用该项目进行教学，而对照组则采用基于传统教学法开发的相同项目进行教学。与采用传统教学法的学生相比，接受MITA教学的学生获得了更多的药物拒绝技能。接受MITA教学的城市学生比农村学生获得了更多技能。接受MITA教学的男女生在平均拒绝技能方面没有统计学上的显著差异。
