Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the drug interests of junior high school students utilizing a questionnaire. The results of the study suggested that these particular students were most interested in the topic of illicit drugs and indicated less interest in the topics of commercial, over the counter, herbal, and prescription drugs. In addition, the students raised many questions about the effects of all drugs, the use of drugs, governmental control of drugs, and the buying and selling of drugs. From the information gathered, a relevant drug unit could be planned for the area of health education at the junior high school level.
