Join Together convened a panel of experts to review U.S. policies for addiction treatment and recovery. Although the panel reached an agreement on six recommendations for policy changes that can make
help more accessible and expand treatment to more people. These recommendations are: (1) treatment for alcoholism and other drug addiction must be covered as a health benefit on an equal basis with
treatment for other diseases; (2) limited access to treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction is a national crisis that calls for a broad-based national campaign to educate the public and build
political support; (3) research on the nature and treatment of addiction and recovery should be expanded and the results made accessible to professionals, policymakers, and the public; (4) education
and training on addiction and recovery should be required for all health, mental health, social service, and justice system professionals; (5) treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction must be
monitored by independent treatment managers with no vested financial interests in order to ensure ongoing treatment effectiveness; and (6) diagnosis, treatment, and long-term recovery must be
integrated into a coordinated community-wide strategy to reduce alcohol and other drug problems....

Abstract: A series of meetings with leaders from six communities explored how efforts to reduce substance abuse may be affecting race relations. Leaders from these communities, located in
Los Angeles (California), Mobile (Alabama), Gallup (New Mexico), Kansas City (Missouri), San Francisco (California), and Vallejo (California), spoke about discord between racial groups and the
tensions of cultural and ethnic diversity. The participants arrived at a consensus that local race relations had improved as a consequence of working together to reduce substance abuse. Common themes
were identified from the various experiences of these communities: (1) a common cause can bring diverse groups together; (2) it is important to understand and acknowledge diversity within racial
groups; (3) it is important to involve community residents and institutional leaders as participants of equal status; and (4) local governments can be instrumental in facilitating constructive
community efforts. Brief profiles provide more specific information about the substance abuse efforts in each of the communities. Critical questions to be considered in implementing substance abuse
programs with implications for race relations are posed. (SLD)

Abstract: A conference in Washington, D.C., brought together leaders from six communities to share their strategies to mobilize residents to fight substance abuse problems. The actions
taken by community groups and leaders in the following cities are described: Portland (Oregon); Hampton (Virginia); Baltimore (Maryland); New Haven (Connecticut); Newark (New Jersey); and Kansas City
(Missouri). In each of these cities, strengthening the community's civic infrastructure to respond to pressing issues was an unintended but positive outcome of efforts to reduce alcohol and drug
abuse. The central strategy of these successful programs has been creating new social and professional networks to reduce substance abuse and crime in their communities. The following lessons can be
drawn from the communities' experiences: (1) strategy matters, and a sound strategy is required to guide community efforts; (2) leadership is key to building and sustaining a healthy civic
infrastructure; (3) public-private partnerships must exist; and (4) community accountability is crucial. Profiles of the six partnerships provide additional information about their implementation and
operation. Suggestions are given for building civic infrastructure. (SLD)

Abstract: Residents of the U. S.-Mexico border region have the immense task of reconciling two different and often incompatible cultures, traditions, and languages. The cultural and
environmental conditions of the South Texas border region are briefly described, and economic and social conditions are reviewed. The unique counseling needs of borderlanders of Mexican descent are
identified and discussed. In order to properly provide counseling services to "fronterizos," mental health professionals must be bilingual and must understand the socioeconomic factors of the area
and the social dynamics between the two nations. The counselor is confronted by challenges of counseling bilingual clients in two languages, differences of culture within each of the language or
national traditions, high rates of substance abuse, violence, and depression, and the not always smooth transformation of traditions from the past. Assets of the region include a strong emphasis on
family and personal relationships. Specific issues for school, college, mental health, and substance abuse counselors are highlighted; education opportunities and issues are reviewed. The counseling
professional "en la frontera" can facilitate the process of a client developing a strong bicultural identity that effectively weaves together the fabrics of the two cultures. (EMK)

Abstract: This 42-item annotated bibliography, represents a comprehensive effort to gather information on the educational problems of infant children of substance-abusing parents. Extensive
searches were conducted in databases in the fields of education, medicine, social sciences, and the humanities. In particular, studies on the problems of "crack babies" are only beginning to appear
in the literature. "Crack" is having an impact on the educational world that is almost beyond comprehension, and its duration and gravity are not yet fully known. Early studies examine the severity,
permanence, and nature of the problem. Of special note among the sources cited are the papers of the National Association for Perinatal Addiction Research and Education (NAPARE), which must be viewed
at the Portland School District professional library due to copyright restrictions or may be ordered from the publisher. Copies of all materials, except the NAPARE papers, are available from the
professional library and an order form is appended. (FMW)

Abstract: Intended to provide an overview of program evaluation as it applies to the evaluation of faculty development and clinical training programs in substance abuse for health and
mental health professional schools, this guide enables program developers and other faculty to work as partners with evaluators in the development of evaluation designs that meet the specialized
needs of faculty development and clinical training programs. Section I discusses conceptual issues in program evaluation, including the uses of evaluation (management and monitoring, program
description, program improvement, accountability, and creating new knowledge); the major options (formative/summative, process/outcome/impact, quantitative/qualitative); and the benefits and risks of
conducting evaluation studies. Section II, an introduction to research methods, includes the following discussions: sampling with known sampling errors (simple random, systematic, multistage random,
stratified, cluster, stratified cluster, and sequential sampling); sampling without known sampling errors (convenience, quota, modal, purposive, and snowball sampling); sample size and
generalizability and sample size and statistical power; the validity of evaluations and potential sources of bias, including issues related to internal validity (history, maturation, testing,
instrumentation, statistical regression, selection, mortality, interactions with selection, and ambiguity about the direction of causal influence); comparison and control groups; measurement of
outcomes; and qualitative evaluation methods and analysis. (5 references) (JB)

Abstract: This report presents the results of a symposium attended by health representatives (nursing, social work, psychology) of eight European governments who met in accordance with
target 17 of the World Health Organization (WHO), "Decreasing health-damaging behaviour," to examine the reorientation of education (substance abuse) for health personnel to make it more relevant to
health needs. The report first describes the symposium's purpose, scope, and various sessions. Next, discussions are presented concerning current training availability of various groups of health
professionals regarding substance abuse, as well as what was found to exist in undergraduate medical student education, and within the medical specialties. This is followed by discussions of the
organization of training for the trainers of drug and alcohol abuse education programs, and the use of multiprofessional and multidisciplinary training. Finally, it is concluded that national
planning efforts are needed in the coordination of substance abuse training, that international cooperation should be maintained in the form of a European network of substance abuse training centers,
and bilateral or multilateral exchanges, and that an international catalogue of training resources should be developed and disseminated. The report concludes with several recommendations on the
objectives and technologies of substance abuse training for health professionals. Appendices contain a list of participants, working papers and background documents. In addition summaries of the
report provided in French, German, and Russian. (GLR)

considered key to achieving full citizenship. Exclusion exists in the school system, as schools continue to stream young women into traditional career paths and allow racial discrimination. Schools
fail to provide the knowledge and capacity to make informed, intelligent choices about substance abuse and sexuality. Access to education, student debt, and labor market conditions delay economic
independence. Young people face discrimination due to age and membership in a particular community. Examples of differential treatment are found in the areas of work, medicine, social services, and
legal system. Their right to protection from harm is infringed upon most by the transportation system and societal problems related to gender, poverty, and marginalization. Having hope for the future
and feelings of belonging influence youth participation in politics and resistance to marginalization through formation of subcultures and via political protest. The notion of precariousness best
captures the experience of youth citizenship with respect to exercise of rights and responsibilities, access, and belonging. (Appendixes include a 271-item bibliography and roundtable summary.) (YLB)

Effect of a Course on Students' Attitudes Toward Substance Abuse and Its Treatment.

John N Chappel; Tracy L Veach
1987 English Article (EJ) Journal of Medical Education, v62 n5 p394-400 May 1987

From 1978 through 1982, pretests and posttests of second-year medical students' attitudes toward substance abuse and its treatment showed that positive attitude change could be achieved during a
substance-abuse course. However, course scheduling in competition with demanding basic science course hampered development of positive attitudes. (MSE)

Abstract: On almost any socioeconomic indicator measuring achievement or material acquisition (e.g., educational attainment, life expectancy, or unemployment), the American Indian ranks
lower than any ethnic or racial group, other than those most recently immigrated. In an effort to overcome the shortcomings of reservation education and to exercise internal control of the
educational process, in the 1960s, tribal leaders began providing facility space to area community colleges willing to deliver an Indian-centered curriculum. While these endeavors proved to be
somewhat successful in establishing good working relationships, the range of Indian-related courses fell far short of tribal expectations. With federal and private aid, Indian-controlled and directed
community colleges were established on reservations to address the specific needs of the tribes. In 1972, the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AINEC) was formed to provide training and
technical assistance to member colleges and to develop methodologies to deliver a curriculum that would satisfy special interests, provide remedial education, offer vocational skills training, and
develop lower division courses that would transfer to senior institutions. In answer to the greatest needs, the staples of the reservation community college curricula are in business management,
substance abuse services, and medical assistance. In addition, all of the community colleges offer studies in tribal history and language development. Some of the colleges have achieved articulation
and transfer agreements with four-year institutions as well. The two most pressing needs of the reservation communities are Indian-delivered education at all levels, and vocational/technical
paraprofessionals. While the latter can help to effect the development of the reservations, the former can prepare the communities for newly emerging realities. Community colleges can influence both
processes. (EJV)

Abstract: In devising the mental health plan for Chicanos, the social, economic, and political forces that adversely affect their emotional well-being must be considered. While defining
mental health needs and proposing ways to meet those needs, the cultural background of the Chicano people must seriously be considered. The plan should stress the importance of strong family ties and
make provision to maintain and strengthen them. The plan's principal thrust should be a mental health service system based on their cultural needs. This paper presents an overview of the social,
economic, and political factors that are detrimental to the emotional well-being of Chicanos. Topics include: la familia, the urban barrio, mental health needs of migrant workers, addiction to "hard
drugs" and alcoholism, education and the child, and legal recourse for procurement of mental health resources. Criteria for evaluating mental health delivery programs serving the Chicano communities
are given. Among these are: "Does the program preserve and understand the unique nature of the Chicano familia?"; "Is the indigenous Chicano community used as a source of manpower and expertise:";
"Have steps been taken to sensitize the staff to the unique values and life styles of the community residents?"; and "Has the program developed one or more service components designed to reach
Chicanos in their own environment?" (NQ)

for equivalency diplomas. Fifteen have expressed interest in other vocational areas, and suitable training centers are being sought. Persistence in therapy, academic and work performance, and certain
other criteria seem to favor those who have participated in the pilot programs. Numerous recommendations in such areas as public relations, course planning, and professional training, were
formulated; and the Nassau County Drug Abuse and Addiction Commission has already taken steps to implement inhouse courses for Topic House patients and staff. (LY)

Abstract: Health psychology has emerged as a potentially distinct specialty within counseling psychology. To determine the nature and extent of health psychology training in counseling
psychology programs, 55 training directors of counseling psychology programs that are either members of the Council of Counseling Psychology Training Programs (CCPTP) or are approved, or being
approved, by the American Psychological Association were surveyed. The survey focused on identifying information about the program, course work in health psychology available either within or outside
the program, applied experiences, research interests, and placement. The results of the survey (response rate of 89%) showed that almost 60% of the programs had no health psychology course work.
Those programs offering relevant courses indicated courses focusing on substance abuse, disability, general health psychology, and rehabilitation. Fifty-nine percent of the programs reported
practicum placements in health psychology. An average of 1.5 faculty per program was reported to have health psychology as an interest area. Students reported a moderate interest in the subject area,
with 18% of them participating in related research. A moderate percentage (35-40%) of the programs reported no internships or job placements in health psychology related settings. These findings
suggest that there is a moderate interest in health psychology research and practice among counseling psychology faculty and students. (The survey questionnaire is attached.) (BL)

Abstract: This first volume of the evaluation of the Career Teacher Program describes the background of the program, the purpose of the evaluation, a description of the evaluation

on these major health problems, and in continuing education programs for doctors. Training grants to qualified degree-granting programs to provide an opportunity to fund medical school faculty
members for further training in drug abuse and addiction were authorized by the program. In order to answer evaluation questions and test the hypotheses of the study, a data collection plan involving
six different checklist instruments was developed. The activities involved: site visits to career teacher sites and training centers, a telephone survey of "career" teachers, an institutions survey
of "noncareer" teachers, a trainee mail survey, and interviews with officials of the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
Conclusions and recommendations are presented concerning the career teacher project grantees (career teachers, sponsors, and institutions); the training centers; and the NIAAA and NIDA. (SW)

medical, social learning, or ecological; (2) court cases which indicate that when drug or alcohol use by a special education student is related to a handicapping condition, exclusion from school does
not appear to be an appropriate response; (3) studies on school performance and substance abuse, supporting the conclusion that substance-using adolescents are less committed to education and at

Abstract: A joint project of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School District, Project DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is designed to equip elementary
and junior high school children with the skills for resisting peer pressure to experiment with drugs and alcohol. The goal is to teach students how to say "no." A growing consensus among experts in
education and medicine holds that substance abuse prevention must begin early, well before children have been led by their peers to experiment with drugs and alcohol. Most important, Project DARE
introduces this training just at the time when the peer pressure begins. DARE's instructors are Los Angeles police officers on full-time duty with the project. Assigned to five schools per semester,
the officers visit classrooms once a week to present an innovative curriculum developed by school district personnel. Veteran police officers with several years of street experience, the DARE
instructors have a credibility unmatched by regular classroom teachers. Through the DARE lessons, students learn that: real friends will not push them into trying drugs and alcohol; the majority of
their peers do not use these substances; being grown up means making their own decisions and coping with problems in a positive way; and they can assert themselves in the face of peer pressure. The
DARE curriculum is organized into 17 classroom sessions in which a wide range of teaching activities are used that are designed to encourage student participation and response. (ABL)

Adults in a multi-ethnic, small, rural school district were surveyed to determine their evaluation and expectations of district schools. Of the 301 respondents, 72% were Jicarilla Apache/other
Indian, 14% Spanish/Mexican, and 14% Anglo; most were aged 19-45; 81% had completed high school; 76% were employed. Respondents rated the elementary, high, and parochial schools generally adequate,
particularly in facilities, bussing, and teachers, but found counseling services unsatisfactory; strongly supported occupational training, personal finance classes, cultural heritage emphasis, and a
substance abuse program; found lack of motivation, self-discipline, and parental involvement the most common impediments to education; rated high school graduation very important; and believed
student goals should be good grades and preparation for further education and employment....

important; and believed student goals should be good grades and preparation for further education and employment. Respondents recognized that parents have a primary responsibility for education and
wanted the school system to teach basic skills. The survey's second part, answered by Jicarilla Apache tribal members, evaluated programs offered by tribal government and demonstrated need for better
communication between residents, school system, and tribal government, and need for more adult education. Survey conclusions included the need to improve communication between school system and
residents, to improve social behavior and educational climate, and to integrate native language and culture into the schools. (LFL)

Abstract: Although research on masculinity and femininity has increased over the past decade, longitudinal studies addressing predictive elements are lacking. The Rush Medical College
Longitudinal Study examines the correlation between masculinity and femininity on the one hand and adjustment, interpersonal functioning, and impairment on the other. During orientation, 67 male and
32 female first-year medical students completed the Personality Attributes Questionnaire and 21 months later also completed measures of psychological well-being, interpersonal functioning, humanistic
attitudes toward patient care, and alcohol consumption. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses with interaction terms revealed main effects of masculinity on self-esteem, extroversion, and
confidence, and main effects of femininity on hedonic capacity, interpersonal satisfaction, sharing of personal problems, and alcohol consumption. Measures of impaired mood and alcohol and drug
impairment were also studied in relation to masculinity and femininity. Both variables contributed to the prediction of depressed mood; femininity also contributed to the prediction of drug
impairment. Neither scale has sufficient sensitivity or specificity to be used by itself as a test of impairment. Further study is needed to measure the precise relationship among low femininity, low
hedonic capacity, and high potential for substance abuse. (Six data tables are included.) (Author/TW)

commission's report, "The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society," is reprinted at the beginning of this report, with the addition of annotations to indicate source materials considered. But this
volume does not in any sense embody a comprehensive treatment of the complex and important problems of drug abuse. Limitation of resources has led this commission to limit the scope and depth of its
work in this area. Among the topics discussed in this report are: (1) the drugs and their reputation, (2) enforcement, (3) drug abuse and crime, (4) penalties, (5) marihuana, (6) treatment, (7) civil
commitment, (8) medical practice and addiction, and (9) education. Six appendix sections are presented covering such topics as dangerous drugs, narcotics, drug legislation, treatment of drug
addiction, and civil commitment of narcotic addicts. (Author/BW)

Abstract: This paper describes the results of the Eagleville Reading Academy and Satellite Program, a demonstration project funded by the U.S. Office of Education. Eagleville is a private,
nonprofit hospital devoted to treatment, research, education and training for alcoholism and drug addiction. The therapeutic community setting includes individual and group therapy, industrial
therapy, occupational therapy, physical rehabilitation, family therapy and general medical care. Education is available on a voluntary, self-selection basis in the inpatient phase. The results of the
study show that treatment outcome for students is superior at all stages of treatment than for nonstudents. They also show that part of the improved self-concept of patients in treatment at Eagleton
is ascribable to the education program. The authors conclude that adult remedial education is an integral component for recovery and deserves serious consideration for inclusion in the continuum of
services for drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. (Author)

Abstract: Attempts at providing drug information and drug education to resident students, Residence Directors (RD's), and Residence Student Advisors (RSA's) at Kent State Universtiy (Ohio)
had three major objectives: (1) provide substance abuse awareness to residence hall students by disseminating drug information; (2) supplement the training of RD's and RSA's with drug education; and
(3) institute drug education programming in residence halls. The Substance Abuse Committee, consisting of a residence-area coordinator, two RD's, and two RSA's, was formed. Resources for educating
students were obtained and distributed, and a survey to ascertain student attitudes and behavior concerning drug use was developed. The first and second objectives were accomplished successfully. The
third, implementing drug education in the dormitories, was less successful. It was felt that the university's Department of Residence Services had difficulty in perceiving and understanding the
nature of this task and its relation to their operations, and the notion of drug education was mistakenly confused with drug information. Further plans are being made for implementing a comprehensive
drug education program. Appendixes include: (1) a resource list for substance abuse information; (2) a sample survey questionnaire eliciting information on student drug involvement; (3) survey
findings from the questionnaire distributed at Kent State University; and (4) a sample drug education presentation. (JD)

Abstract: A library neighborhood center is a community built around a branch library, providing the usual branch library functions of self-education and improvement. Four of New Haven's
eight branch libraries are designed as library neighborhood centers. The centers are supported by the Ford Foundation, the City of New Haven, the Office of Economic Opportunity, the New Haven
Foundation, and Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) funds. Programs, activities, and staffing at the Centers are discussed in this report. The Centers have concentrated efforts to provide
information for six groups of users in their areas: (1) those in financial need, (2) those with consumer problems, (3) tenants, (4) those accused or convicted of a crime, (5) those with medical
problems, including alcoholism and drug addiction, and (6) those seeking higher education. Some observations on the Centers are:A.) There is still much apathy and ignorance surrounding the Centers.
B.) People-oriented librarians are necessary to ensure success for the project. C.) The multi-agency approach has been beneficial. (Author/CC)

Abstract: The Weekend Intervention Program (WIP) at the Wright State University School of Medicine is described in this report. Designed to address severe health and social problems while
supporting the university's academic mission, the program began with the goal of addressing the health and social problems of alcohol abusers. WIP is a 72-hour intensive program of education and
counseling for alcohol abusers which provides local courts a therapeutic alternative to incarceration for people convicted of alcohol-related offenses. Its educational strength is a "real world"
experience that gives understanding and skills in helping people with substance abuse problems. Medical student participation in the WIP is required. As participant-observers, students work in the
counseling groups conducted by professionals. They attend alcohol/drug education sessions and a introductory meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. Evidence of program effectiveness includes the following:
WIP was the first driver-intervention program accredited by the Ohio Department of Health; WIP now serves a 10-county area adjacent to the university; WIP personnel make presentations at major
national and international traffic safety and substance abuse conferences; and WIP has been replicated nationwide. A followup study indicates there is a significant retention of learning by students.
The appendices include three Wright state University School of Medicine news releases. (SM)
