JOURNAL OFCHILD&ADOLESCENTSUBSTANCE ABUSEVolume 14 Number 1 2004CONTENTSYouth Knowledge, Interpersonal Skills,and Media Altitu<strong>de</strong>s After Anti-Tobacco Training………..…1Vivi<strong>en</strong> CarverBonita ReinertLillian M. RangeTo see if youth tobacco use prev<strong>en</strong>tion training improves knowledge, interactionskills, and awar<strong>en</strong>ess of media influ<strong>en</strong>ces, junior high and high school stud<strong>en</strong>ts(161 at pre-test, 176 at post-test)from southeastern U.S. public schoolscompleted questionnaires before and after anti-tobacco lessons. After training,high school (but not junior high) stud<strong>en</strong>ts more strongly supported anti-tobaccopolicy. All stud<strong>en</strong>ts saw themselves as immune to tobacco media influ<strong>en</strong>ce, butothers as susceptible. An implication is that tobacco use prev<strong>en</strong>tion interv<strong>en</strong>tionsfor high school youth should focus on policy issues, and for all youth shouldteach critical viewing skills to resist the powerful messages put forth by thetobacco industry.KEYWORDS.

BohmanTed BarkerMary Lou BellCarol M. LewisLori HolleranElizabeth PomeroyThe pres<strong>en</strong>t study reports the evaluation results of the "Protecting You/Protecting Me "(PY/PM) alcohol use prev<strong>en</strong>tion and safety curriculum for third, fourth, and fifthgra<strong>de</strong>rs wh<strong>en</strong> taught by high school peer lea<strong>de</strong>rs. The primary goal of the PY/PMprev<strong>en</strong>tion program, <strong>de</strong>veloped by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), is toprev<strong>en</strong>t injury and <strong>de</strong>ath of childr<strong>en</strong> due to un<strong>de</strong>rage consumption of alcoholicbeverages and vehicle-related risks, especially as pass<strong>en</strong>gers in vehicles in which thedriver is not alcohol-free. Two classrooms for each gra<strong>de</strong> were randomly assigned to
eceive either the Interv<strong>en</strong>tion or serve as a Comparison in four sites in Texas. Frompre-test to post-test, 259 surveys were matched (Interv<strong>en</strong>tion n = 128, Comparison n =131). A 6-week follow-up survey was also completed with 120 Interv<strong>en</strong>tion stud<strong>en</strong>ts.The results showed the Interv<strong>en</strong>tion group ma<strong>de</strong> significant improvem<strong>en</strong>ts, relative tothe Comparison group, in Vehicle Safety Skills, In-t<strong>en</strong>tions not to Ri<strong>de</strong> with an AlcoholImpaired Driver, Media Literacy, and Knowledge about Brain Developm<strong>en</strong>t.Additional findings showed some individual differ<strong>en</strong>ces by g<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>r and gra<strong>de</strong> and thatthe interv<strong>en</strong>tion’s effect varied in a few areas <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>ding on pre-test score, g<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>r, andgra<strong>de</strong>. Overall, the curriculum b<strong>en</strong>efits stud<strong>en</strong>ts by influ<strong>en</strong>cing their altitu<strong>de</strong>s towardadvertisem<strong>en</strong>ts, increasing their int<strong>en</strong>tions not to ri<strong>de</strong> with a driver who has be<strong>en</strong>drinking, <strong>de</strong>veloping their skills to protect themselves wh<strong>en</strong> they have no other optionbut to ri<strong>de</strong> with an alcohol impaired driver, and improving their knowledge about the<strong>de</strong>veloping brain.KEYWORDS.

FabianEile<strong>en</strong> M. HarwoodTraci L. ToomeyAlexan<strong>de</strong>r C. Wag<strong>en</strong>aarThe major objective of this study was to compare tr<strong>en</strong>ds in three types of fatal injuriesassociated with alcohol use among youth un<strong>de</strong>r the legal drinking age and among adultsof legal drinking age from 1990-1998. The fatal injuries investigated inclu<strong>de</strong>d homici<strong>de</strong>,suici<strong>de</strong>, and motor vehicle-traffic <strong>de</strong>aths.Results were: (1) motor vehicle-traffic <strong>de</strong>aths and homici<strong>de</strong> were higher among youthun<strong>de</strong>r the legal drinking age than among adults of legal drinking age; whereas, suici<strong>de</strong>was more common among adults of legal drinking age than among youth un<strong>de</strong>r the legaldrinking age; and, (2) African American, Hispanic, and American Indian male youthun<strong>de</strong>r the legal drinking age were at substantial risk of being victims of homici<strong>de</strong> andmotor vehicle-traffic <strong>de</strong>aths.KEYWORDS.

PageMichelle RolandThe preval<strong>en</strong>ce of marijuana use and perceptions of the preval<strong>en</strong>ce of marijuana usewas assessed in a sample of intercollegiate athletes and a separate sample of primarilyfirst-year non-athlete stud<strong>en</strong>ts at a northwestern public university. Marijuana usepreval<strong>en</strong>ce in the non-athlete sample was higher than the preval<strong>en</strong>ce found innationwi<strong>de</strong> surveys of drug use on college campuses. Curr<strong>en</strong>t use of marijuana wasgreater in non-athletes than athletes, however, lifetime use was equival<strong>en</strong>t. Theperceptions of preval<strong>en</strong>ce of marijuana use among both athletes and non-athletesexcee<strong>de</strong>d self-reported use in these groups. Stud<strong>en</strong>ts who used marijuana held higherperceptions of the preval<strong>en</strong>ce of marijuana use among their campus peers and thosebelieving that marijuana use was normative on campus were more likely to be curr<strong>en</strong>tmarijuana users themselves. The findings from this study have important implications for
