Researchers Seek Ways To Teach Skills To Avoid Drug Use
ny Natalie E. Hampton
and Barbara Antomicci -
Special To The Poet
. While national attention is focused
on “just say no" anti-drug cam
paigns, two researchers at North
Carolina State University are
looking for ways to teach adoles
cents reasoning skills to help them
avoid the temptation of drug use.
Dr. N.A. Sprinthall and Dr. E.R.
Gerler, faculty members in NCSU’s
Department of Counselor Educa
tion, are embarking on the second
year of a three-year study aimed at
developing a drug counselling
program that would involve parents
working with teenagers.
The study has received funding
from the Broyhill Foundation.
While President Reagan has urged
'he nation's youth to say “no" to
drug abuse, the researchers go a
step further, Sprinthall said.
“We say teach children reasons
not to do drugs," he said.
In the first year of their study
involving 54 Wake County eighth
graders, Sprinthall and Gerler
learned that teenage girls and boys
have different reasoning abilities
when it comes to the issue of drug
abuse.
Boys in the study reasoned at a
less rational, more impulsive level
'han girls their own age when
confronted with choices in drug
abuse situations, according to the s
’udy findings.
Boys tended to avoid drug use if
'here was a high probability of their
being caught, punished or losing
privileges.
Girls, on the other hand, were
deterred from drug use because of
general societal rules or an •
understanding of the dangers of
drug use. Girls were more able than
b -ys to understand that drugs could
be harmful to themselves or to
society.
If these results stay the same
when the study is repeated this fall,
the researchers plan to develop pilot
educational programs to raise the
boys’ level of reasoning and
_ improve the girls’ abilities to

understand causes and consequenc
es 1/ drug use.
Sprinthall said be had not expect
ed to find such differences in boys’
and girls’ reasoning abilities on
drugs because there are not signi
ficant differences in their abilities in
other areas at this age.
The ultimate goal of the research
is to develop drug prevention
workshops in schools that would
involve parent volunteers working
with groups of teenagers other than
their own children.
Last year, the researchers select
ed two groups of eighth graders to
participate -in dialogues on drug
abuse. One group was led by a school
guidance counselor and the other by
an NCSU graduate student.
Adult leaders in the study tried to.'
initiate discussions with students on
problem situations involving drug
use.
‘The students were given scen
arios with dilemmas related to drug
use, and they had to come up with
possible courses of action,” Gerler
added.
Dilemmas discussed included
dealing with pressure from a friend
to use drugs or being at a party
where drugs were available. I.
‘‘Eighth grade is the peak time for
young people to be subject to out
side influences,” SprinthaD said
