Project PRIDE provides substance abuse prevention and other counseling in a peer-group setting. The program serves students in all Philadelphia public school districts as well as some suburban districts. PRIDE views substance abuse, high-risk sexual behavior, suicide and adolescent pregnancy as symptoms of other problems rather than isolated issues. The program uses attitudinal and behavior approaches to prevention to promote skills that enhance self-esteem and responsible decision-making so that adolescents become less vulnerable to high-risk behaviors. Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention for Middle Schools: The focus of these programs is on primary prevention of substance abuse, including mental health issues such as depression and suicide.

    Extractions: In a study being published today in Health Education Research, a journal for educators, researchers from UNC Chapel Hill say many schools are using popular programs such as DARE, Here's Looking at You 2000 and McGruff's Drug Prevention and Child Protection, which haven't shown the results schools should expect, despite years of use. The most popular, DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, was created by police officers in Los Angeles in 1983 to teach children about the dangers of drugs. More than 50,000 officers have been trained nationwide and the program is being implemented in 80 percent of school districts. In response to criticism its program is ineffective, DARE America is conducting a five-year study to evaluate a new curriculum.

    Extractions: This longitudinal prospective study evaluates the effects of alcohol, nicotine, drugs, and other prenatal factors that can affect children's health and development. The basic hypothesis for the study is that prenatal alcohol exposure exerts an enduring dose-dependent influence on offspring health and development across the life span. This study has far-reaching public health implications. Alcohol remains the teratogenic drug most frequently ingested during pregnancy. Data from this study led to an estimated incidence rate of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Alcohol Related Neurobehavioral Disorder (ARND) combined of nearly 1 per 100 births. Recent work has demonstrated that prenatal exposure to alcohol is significantly associated with alcohol problems in young adults. Unfortunately, alcohol-affected infants, children and adults are often denied needed services when they lack the characteristic FAS face and/or mental retardation as defined by a standardized IQ score of less than 70. It is essential that the long-term adult consequences of these birth defects be understood and that markers of clinically affected individuals be identified to support appropriate diagnosis and intervention.

Dr. William Hurwitz , in which a pain physician was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison on 50 counts of criminal "drug distribution." If the conviction stands, it will have a tremendous negative impact on the care chronic pain patients receive nationwide and encourage federal prosecutors to usurp the traditional roles of state medical boards in determining and enforcing standards of medical practice.

    Extractions: From Johannesburg Bureau Chief Charlayne Hunter-Gault JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) Public health and AIDS activists are pressing the South African government to provide the drug AZT to rape victims, citing U.S. studies showing that prompt use of the drug, in combination with three others, can reduce the risk of contracting HIV by 81 percent. But the cash-strapped government is refusing to go along. And last year, it ended a pilot project that provided AZT to pregnant HIV-positive women. Research shows that the use of AZT in these cases lessens the chances that the babies will contract HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS.

    http://www.projectharmony.org/programs/prof/past/cpti/jedp/
    
    Extractions: Program Overview The expansion of the Juvenile Drug Enforcement and Prevention Program (JDEP) has been a collaborative effort with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Education and City Administrations in four regional centers of Russia: Petrozavodsk, Velikiy Novgorod, Volgograd and Irkutsk. The initiative began in the city of Petrozavodsk in the Autonomous Republic of Karelia. Since 1998, Project Harmony has established a coalition of partners in Petrozavodsk, led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and including educational administrators, teachers, and city officials. As a result of their collaboration and partnership with US police officers, a juvenile drug intervention unit was created within the Petrozavodsk City Police Department in 1999 to address the community invasion of drugs and alcohol. Project Harmony has partnered with this unit to develop teams of police officers and life skills teachers to team-teach in secondary school classrooms about drug-free behavior and healthy lifestyle choices. This coalition of key community stakeholders, in partnership with American school resource officers, produced a teacher's manual and classroom curriculum for 9th and 10th graders which includes thirteen lessons devoted to drug abuse prevention strategies. This curriculum is called DOM (Children, Education and Police) and was co-authored by Olga Baranova, Head of the Drug Intervention Unit, and Svetlana Goranskaya, Director of the Karelian Pedagogical Institute. INL funded the initial printing and national distribution of 3000 copies of the DOM curriculum in 2001.

    Extractions: Drug Control in Public Housing: The Impact of the Drug Elimination Program in the New York City Public Housing Authority Since 1990, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has undertaken systematic efforts through its Drug Elimination Program (DEP) to reduce drug use, drug selling, and drug-related crimes. DEP aimed to reduce drug and crime problems through collaborations between resident organizations, NYCHA and other institutions to strengthen the structures of formal and informal social control within public housing developments. This research will provide a systematic process and impact evaluation of DEP, using a conceptual framework based on the moderating effects of social capital and social control on drug control strategies, drug problems, and drug-related crimes. DEP was funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. Locally, the programs are collaborations between NYCHA management, tenant organizations and residents to devise and implement DEP activities. Funded activities include enhanced police protection, drug treatment, drug prevention programs, youth and gang outreach, and community organizing. Capital projects also are supported by DEP, such as lighting improvements and installation of CCTV surveillance. Programs have been present in more than 85% of NYCHA's 344 sites for one or more years since the program's inception in 1991. NYCHA has spent over $165 million on DEP over seven years. The research will proceed through three phases.

    Extractions: Study finds few schools using effective anti-drug programs The three most popular programs used by schools to prevent drug use are not among those proven to be effective, according to a survey of 81 school districts in 11 states. The survey also shows that school-based efforts on drug education are plagued by "shortages of teacher time and money," both at the district and school levels. Dr. Denise Hallfors of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, colleagues and students conducted the study and released it to participating school districts and the public Monday (May 1). Hallfors, research associate professor of maternal and child health at the UNC-CH School of Public Health, said the survey of drug education coordinators showed that the most common programs used by school districts are Drug Awareness and Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.), Here's Looking at You and McGruff's Drug Prevention and Child Protection. "These programs may be popular with the public and the schools, but there are little or no data to show that they have been proven to be strong and effective in combating drug use," she said. Proven programs are available, such as Reconnecting Youth, Life Skills Training, Project ALERT, Project STAR, Alcohol Misuse Prevention and Project Northland, Hallfors said. These and other good programs offer schools a growing choice of effective drug prevention and education curricula. "It is not enough for a teacher, a parent or a police officer to tell school children that drugs are bad for you, don't use them," she said. "We have to go beyond that. We have to use role-playing and skills learning to help children negotiate with peers and make positive choices.
