Download or read book Distilling Democracy written by Jonathan Zimmerman and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zimmerman (educational history, New York U.) examines the history of Scientific Temperance Instruction, a curriculum on the evils of alcohol which was originally developed and advocated by a grassroots movement, and ultimately was mandated in all American schools for a time. He traces today's debate on drug and alcohol education to issues raised in this seminal episode. The debate over STI, claims Zimmerman, was really about the balance between expertise and populist desire in determining what should be taught to America's children.

Download or read book Alcohol Education written by David J. Hanson and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1996-11-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of a massive national investment in alcohol education, the evidence clearly demonstrates that our current efforts are overwhelmingly ineffective and are often counterproductive. The assessment of the effectiveness of alcohol programs over the past 15 years reveals that those based on the responsible-use approach tend to be superior to those based on the abstinence approach. Hanson puts the historical relationship between Americans and alcohol into perspective, discusses federal policies on alcohol that are highly ideological and biased, and advocates the development of responsible-use curricula that will prepare students to be, as adults, responsible consumers of alcohol. While alcohol has been praised as a sign of refinement, a source of relaxation, and a complement to good times, it has also been cursed as the cause of disease and death. The temperance movement, which taught that alcohol was poison and that moderation in its use was no more possible than moderation in murder, has greatly influenced American thought and is reflected in our abstinence-oriented approach to alcohol education. Current programs reflect not only these abstinence origins but the inclusion of drug education several decades ago. Hanson finds that, despite good intentions, evidence indicates that this approach has proved ineffective. He considers the strong and often mixed feelings Americans have toward alcohol that are reflected in ever-changing public policy and concludes that the development and evaluation of alcohol education programs should be based on the best scientific evidence available rather than on political ideology. Recommendations for change in alcohol education are presented, with the most important being that we must promote the development and evaluation of diverse responsible-use curricula with the goal of reducing alcohol abuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems stemming from the misuse and abuse of alcohol and other drugs are by no means a new phenomenon, although the face of the issues has changed in recent years. National trends indicate substantial increases in the abuse of prescription medications. These increases are particularly prominent within the military, a population that also continues to experience long-standing issues with alcohol abuse. The problem of substance abuse within the military has come under new scrutiny in the context of the two concurrent wars in which the United States has been engaged during the past decade-in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn). Increasing rates of alcohol and other drug misuse adversely affect military readiness, family readiness, and safety, thereby posing a significant public health problem for the Department of Defense (DoD). To better understand this problem, DoD requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) assess the adequacy of current protocols in place across DoD and the different branches of the military pertaining to the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs). Substance Use Disorders in the U.S. Armed Forces reviews the IOM's task of assessing access to SUD care for service members, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military dependents, as well as the education and credentialing of SUD care providers, and offers specific recommendations to DoD on where and how improvements in these areas could be made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness-Based Substance Abuse Treatment for Adolescents is a group-based curriculum incorporating mindfulness, self-awareness, and substance-abuse treatment strategies for use with adolescents dealing with substance use. The evidence-based, how-to format provides a curriculum for professionals to implement either partially, by picking and choosing sections that seem relevant, or in full over a number of weeks. Each session comes equipped with clear session agendas, example scripts and talking points, what-if scenarios that address common forms of resistance, and optional handouts for each session. Sections cover the major principles of working with adolescents—relationship building, working with resistance, and more—along with a full curriculum. The book is a natural fit for psychotherapists, but addiction counselors, school counselors, researchers, mentors, and even teachers will find that Mindfulness-Based Substance Abuse Treatment for Adolescents changes the way they work with young people.

Preventing Drug Abuse will be indispensable to anyone involved in the search for solutions, including policymakers, anti-drug program developers and administrators, and researchers.
