- Summary:
-
The Beauty Way Curriculum is an alcohol and substance abuse prevention program. This curriculum was designed for use in grades K-8 and includes at least five different lessons for each grade, along with supplemental materials. This research report analyzes the data collected by four instruments--training feedback forms, curriculum feedback forms, classroom observations forms, and student perceptions questionnaires--which were designed to assess the effectiveness of the curriculum. The data were drawn from 35 schools, which included 1,793 students and over 367 teachers, counselors, and other personnel. Results showed that 16% of students reported using alcohol and that 55.5% of students believed that at least one member of their family uses alcohol. Even so, for most students, the primary people who warned them not to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs were family members; teachers and counselors were much less likely to tell students not to use these substances. Teachers and other education personnel responded that the Beauty Way Curriculum provided them a much needed way of discouraging alcohol and substance abuse. Sixty-seven percent of teachers and counselors believed that the program provides powerful prevention skills needed to change the student's attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol and substance abuse. Five appendices present the student questionnaire and teacher forms. (RJM)
