Abstract

A local army reserve command developed the Drug Store, an experiential community-based drug education program for middle school students, in 1993. More than 9,000 children have participated in the program since its inception. During 1997-99, university health education and psychology faculty members collaborated with substance abuse prevention specialists and the state department of education to develop classroom resources for middle school teachers. The National Health Education Standards and state course of study curriculum framework were used as content guides. This collaboration resulted in an enhanced community-based drug education program.
