The present study investigates the effectiveness of a family-based, online media literacy education (MLE) program for substance abuse prevention in children from rural areas. A total of 83 families were randomly assigned to receive (n = 47) or a control computer program (n = 36) between pre- and posttest questionnaires. Fifty-one percent (N=42) completed a three-month follow-up questionnaire. Children receiving reported a significant reduction in their use of substances over time compared to children in the control group = -.80). Parents receiving reported that the program was convenient and engaging. The current study showed that an online substance use prevention program using MLE and designed for families is an effective intervention method for reducing children's substance use.
本研究调查了一项基于家庭的在线媒体素养教育(MLE)计划对农村地区儿童预防药物滥用的有效性。在前后测问卷之间,总共83个家庭被随机分配接受(n = 47)或对照计算机程序(n = 36)。51%(N = 42)的家庭完成了为期三个月的随访问卷。与对照组的儿童相比,接受[具体项目]的儿童报告随着时间推移其药物使用显著减少(t = -0.80)。接受[具体项目]的家长报告该计划方便且有吸引力。当前研究表明,一项使用MLE并为家庭设计的在线预防药物使用计划是减少儿童药物使用的有效干预方法。
