“…Além disso, no referido estudo, os professores demonstram insegurança para fazer prevenção ao uso de drogas, justificando tal atitude à falta de informação e ao receio de não corresponderem às expectativas dos dos estudantes. Neste sentido, estudos indicam que a deficitária formação dos educadores representa um dos fatores que dificulta a implantação de programas preventivos nas escolas (Harthun et al, 2008). Na Política Nacional de Educação Permanente em Saúde existem diretrizes bem estabelecidas que proporcionam o desenvolvimento de novas competências a partir de treinamentos (extensão continuada) para diversos profissionais, dentre eles, os educadores (Ministério da Saúde, 2009).…”

RESUMOO uso abusivo de drogas configura-se como um grave problema de saúde pública. O presente trabalho buscou identificar as principais crenças e conhecimentos de educadores sobre o uso de drogas. Participaram do estudo 105 educadores de escolas públicas e 399 de escolas particulares da cidade de São Paulo. A coleta de dados ocorreu a partir da aplicação de um questionário fechado, de autopreenchimento e anônimo. Aproximadamente 32% dos educadores de escolas públicas e 44% de escolas particulares afirmaram não ter conhecimento suficiente sobre o tema. Além disso, cerca de 50% dos educadores afirmaram ser a maconha a porta de entrada para o uso de outras drogas e 64% dos educadores de escolas públicas e 46% de escolas particulares concordaram que as drogas provocam apenas a ilusão do prazer. Os dados indicam a necessidade da implementação de programas de capacitação, desconstruindo crenças baseadas no senso comum e facilitando o acesso desse público a conteúdos científicos. Palavras-chave: abuso de drogas, prevenção, professores, adolescente, educação.

Tobacco control stakeholders in priority populations are searching for culturally appropriate cessation training models to strengthen cessation capacity and infrastructure. We adapted the University of Arizona model for Brief Tobacco Cessation Interventions (BTI) training for Pacific Islanders and pilot-tested it in four Pacific Islands - Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Northern Mariana Islands and the Marshall Islands. All participants completed a post-training knowledge assessment exam, pre- and post-confidence assessments and a quality improvement evaluation. Of 70 participants, 65 (93%) completed the training. Forty-one (63%) passed the post-training knowledge assessment exam at the 1st attempt; an additional 9 (14%) successfully passed on their 2nd attempt, for a total pass rate of 77%. The pre and post confidence surveys demonstrated a statistically significant increase in confidence across all competency areas for delivering brief advice. The quality improvement survey revealed high acceptance and approval for the content and delivery of the locally adapted training model. As Pacific Island communities enact tobacco control policies, cessation demand is growing. The Guam cessation training model used culturally relevant data, materials and training approaches and appeared effective in four different Pacific island countries. This underscores the importance of culturally competent adaptation of cessation training for priority populations like Pacific Islanders.

“…Nine schools agreed to participate in this study. Teachers assigned to deliver kiR received training regarding the culturally sensitive delivery of kiR (see, Harthun, Dustman, Reeves, Hecht, & Marsiglia, 2008). Principals also agreed to allow trained research facilitators to use the school's facilities to deliver the FPNG curriculum to the parents.…”

Drawing from an ecodevelopmental framework, this article examines if adding a parenting component, Families Preparing the New Generation (Familias Preparando la Nueva Generación), to an efficacious classroom‐based drug abuse prevention intervention, keepin'it REAL, will boost the effects of the youth intervention in preventing substance use for middle school Mexican‐heritage students. Youth attending schools in a large urban area in the Southwestern U.S. (N = 462) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: parent and youth, youth only, or control. Using ordinary least squares regression, changes in youth substance use outcomes were examined. Results indicate that youth whose parents also participated in prevention programming exhibited significantly lower use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and inhalants compared to youth who received only keepin'it REAL. These initial effects indicate that involving parents in prevention efforts can strengthen the overall efficacy of a youth prevention intervention. This article discusses specific implications for the design of prevention interventions, policy, and future research.
