  7. CHKS Report WHHS 2009-2010 Current AOD Use, Past 30 Days Almost 20% of 11th graders at WHHS have used AOD 7 or moretimes in that last 30 days

  8. Why Are We Teaching About Alcohol and Other Drugs Research Shows… • Students who use drugs or alcohol perform academically at a lower rate than those who do not (Jeynes, 2002). • Logistic regression identified gender, race, frequent smoking, and marijuana use as statistically significant factors associated with increased odds forlow academic performance. (Cox, Zhang, Johnson & March, 2007)

  9. What do students BELIEVE? I feel comfortable seeking help from an adult at WHHS about Alcohol and/or Other Drug (AOD) related issues Percent

  10. What do students BELIEVE? I believe experimenting with AOD on the weekends can lead to abuse Percent

  11. What do students KNOW? Know the definition of Rebound Effect (Withdrawal)

  12. Know that teenagers become chemically dependent at a faster rate than adults

  13. Know that an adult who has been using AOD since they were a teen results in having an emotional skill set of a teenager

  14. Know the definition of AOD Tolerance

  15. What Skills Did Students LEARN? Based on a scenario, were able to identify someone in the “abuse” stage

  16. Student reflections “This lesson was very informative. It explained a lot of things usual anti-drug lessons don’t explain. Now I can use this information in the future if any of my friends are in trouble with abuse.” “I felt this was a great little activity and I actually feel like I’m leaving with new info I can apply to life and the future.” “I have an alcoholic living in my home. I will go to the website to understand how to deal with it and also learn new information.”

  17. Limitations • Some questions on test were difficult • We could have piloted our test • Not having built rapport with students before presenting a sensitive topic • Having substitutes teachers for7 out of 10 presentations

  18. What went Well • Students received valuable information about AOD use • Gained knowledge, attitude, and skills to make positive decisions about using

  19. Our Goal With these Attitudes, Knowledge, and Skills • Students will get the support they need for AOD related issues • The amount of student suspensions for AOD on campus decrease • Drop out rates will be reduced

  20. Thank you for your support of the school counseling program!
