Anti-drug campaigns on campus are the foundation for preventing drug use among teenagers. The Ministry of Education (MOE), Republic of China, has enforced the drug abuse prevention policy in the Chun-Huei Project since 1991, spanning 20 years until the present. However, statistics from the Campus Security Report Center (CSRC), MOE, show that senior high and vocational school students make up the majority of those teenagers involved in drug abuse and their numbers increase year by year, indicating a deteriorating tendency in regard to this phenomenon. Therefore, it was necessary to evaluate the current anti-drug campaigns in senior high and vocational schools.
This study aimed to explore the relevance of anti-drug promotion methods in relation to anti-drug resolutions among the senior high and vocational schools, based on the experiences regarding the enforcement of the drug abuse prevention policy in Chun-Huei Project by the MOE as practiced in Tainan city. Purposive sampling was adopted with 580 students in Tainan city as participants. Questionnaires were administrated to them to obtain data on ¡§promotion methods in the campaigns¡¨ and ¡§anti-drug resolutions.¡¨ The elicited data was then analyzed through descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, factor analysis, t-test, One-Way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The main results showed that: 1. school type was related to the ¡§perceived static promotions¡¨; 2. gender differences in overall anti-drug resolutions among the students were observed showing that female students exhibited greater anti-drun resolutions than did male students; 3. living environment was associated with ¡§tips to refuse drugs¡¨ in anti-drug resolutions; and 4.Students¡¦ perceived ¡§anti-drug promotion methods¡¨ correlated positively with their anti-drug resolutions.
Findings of this research were discussed and implications for anti-drug practices were provided. Suggestions are also proposed to the authorities concerning policy implementation: 1. The enforcement of Chun- Huei Project shall be continued to improve the effect of drug abuse prevention; 2. Executions to prevent students from drug abuse shall be improved; 3. Consensus on drug abuse prevention can be fortified by integrating community resources; 4. Appropriate promotional activities should be held for males and females contingently; 5. Off-campus counseling goals can be better fulfilled via frequent visits to students¡¦ residences; and 6. Anti-drug teaching materials should be designed to strengthen the students¡¦ anti-drug resolutions.
