RESEARCH ABSTRACT

Title: THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS ON DRUG EDUCATION AMONG BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CRIMINOLOGY OF BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY JOSE P. LAUREL POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE STUDENTS

Links: Conceptual Literature An article which appeared at the Philippine Daily Inquirer (1989) entitled, In an interview with Herrera (1990), he ranked peer pressure as the highest cause of drug abuse. Then lack of information and parental neglect was next. Many youths thought that to be in they have to take drugs or smoke marijuana. According to Gonzales (1990), an academic drug education course could be designed to include information on the severity of drug abuse problems, the susceptibility of students to these problems and the viability of alternative behaviors to drug abuse. In the book of Bustos(2002), it stated that education and explanation had always been through some form of media as a means of providing health information and education about drugs. Media had the advantage of bringing intimacy and immediacy to a topic. The literature of coggans and Watson (1995) suggested that for drug education approaches to be effective they had to be audience appropriate and based on methods which took developmental influences into account. Nowlis (1994) pointed out that college students often seemed less interested in the legal and medical facts about drugs than in a personal philosophical discussion about the limits on an individual’s right to self-discover and expression. According to Forrest (1999), drug education aimed to assist young people to make informed decisions rather than telling them what to do with the “hidden” and formal curricula working together to produce an environment conductive to health promotion. Research Literature Magdale (1986) studied the “Knowledge, Attitudes & Practices of Drugs among High School Seniors & their Teachers, in selected Secondary School of Northern Mindanao” Quejas (1996), on his study entitled “Parent - Youth Involvement against Drug Abuse”, Revealed that it could effectively reduce the drug problem. He also highlighted the socio-economic situations where volunteerism was of good significance.
