“…According to Goodstadt (1986), information-based efforts, especially alcohol and other drug-use education programs, have failed for four reasons: (a) changes in attitude do not automatically lead to changes in behavior; (b) alcohol and other use drug or sex education courses often are taught as though all students involved are nonusers or nonparticipants; (c) education programs do not make necessary links between the classroom and reality; and (d) most education programs have not been evaluated in terms of learning outcomes. Finally, Eiser, Eiser, and Bocker (1988) questioned teachers and found them dissatisfied with information-based interventions, preferring approaches based on teaching students how to make appropriate decisions.…”

The process involving person(s) who has the authority and/or power to decide what, where, and how curriculum will be put into effect, or accomplished in the classroom. Iowa Department of Education Framework "Curriculum for local schools to use as a means of assessing their current programs in health education and to plan for a comprehensive health education program for the future" (Iowa Department of Education, 1986, p. 1). Health Strand Any one of the eleven mandated health strands required in one unit of health for grades nine through twelve in the School Standards Act (1988). The eleven health strands are: (1) personal health; (2) food and nutrition; (3) environmental health; (4) safety and survival skills; (5) consumer health; (6) family life; (7) human growth and development; (8) substance abuse and nonuse; (9) emotional and social health; (10) health resources; and (11) prevention and control of disease, including sexually transmitted diseases.

Students who make up special education populations are a high-risk group for the development of future substance abuse. A number of factors contribute to this phenomenon. Students with emotional disturbances and learning disabilities face unique risk factors and skills deficits. Such students are at a considerable disadvantage for successfully negotiating peer pressure and high-stress situations. However, very few prevention programs target specifically this population. An overview of the risk factors and skills deficits unique to special education students is used to evaluate existing approaches to prevention and to make recommendations for future efforts.
