ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to see how effective the Drug Education Program for
Adolescence at Caybiga, Caloocan city. The reason why I chose this is it is important to
know where to seek help.
Drug Education helps and illegal, have the potential to cause harm, and that the drug and the
environment. However, I have no opportunity to determine if it is effective or not. That is
why I asked about drug education programs, but I have no idea whether they are efficient or
not. As aa result, we enlisted the help of many students to find out the solution.
To gather the information, we needed we created three (3) main questions the correspond to
the questions stated in the statement of the problem. After that, we proceeded to put the
questions on google form after creating them. We distribute our questions to numerous
adolescences. We gathered (50) responses and are now working on presenting my results.

INTRODUCTION
The Department assists Schools to develop ongoing sustainable drug education policies and
programs based on a harm minimizations approach. A harm minimization approach aims to
reduce the adverse health, social and economic consequences of drugs by minimizing or
limiting the harms and hazard of drug use for both community and the individual without
necessarily eliminating use. It is recognized that teachers are best placed to provide young
people with skills and knowledge to make sound choices and decisions and thus teachers
must be adequately trained.
The issue of drug abuse has already been with us for a very long time. Knowing the adverse
effects of drug abuse in the society's culture and general well-being, many measures have
been proposed and implemented by experts to reduce and relieve, if not totally eradicate these
effects. One such measure is dug prevention education. In view of the urgent need, the
Department of Education implemented the National Drug Education program (NDEP) which
aims to prevent drug abuse among students through the development of desirable values,
attitudes and practices. True to its commitment to uphold our pupils' holistic growth and
development, Dapdapan Elementary School in partnership with PNP San Pablo headed by
Police Inspector Rolando Libed, PO2 Ma. Danica A. Camado, POI Evita A. Domes, POI
Arthur Gutierrez and POl Robert Cornejo, a Drug Prevention Seminar was conducted last
September 9 & 10. On the first day of the seminar pupils were the attendees. Our resource
speakers used Audio-Visual Presentations to show the harmful effects of drug abuse. They
also emphasized the social, emotional and physical dangers of abuse of illegal drugs. More
importantly the legal responsibility and liability of users and pushers were discussed.
On the next day parents attended the said seminar. They also actively participated in the
discussion about drug abuse, drug prevention and even about responsible parenting. It was
such a delight to see a number of parents even the seminar was scheduled on a weekday.
They attended to be educated about drug awareness/prevention despite their household chores
and works. The youth's involvement in the anti-drug campaign is a necessary step because
they play an important part in helping stop the spread of illegal drugs in our country

CHAPTER I
RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents the related literature that the researcher considered in strengthening the
claim and importance of the present study.
Currently there are several competing theories used to inform the development of drug use
prevention programs. Some interventions address educating students, some address educating
parents, and others educate and train both the teens and their parents. A few programs have a
much wider scope of community involvement and policy change. The method of education is
different in each program as well. A few interventions focus on assisting participants in
learning new life skills such as assertiveness, problem solving, and coping; these techniques
are used with the hope that students will be able to effectively deal with and manage the
social and peer pressure that they face from their friends, idols, media, and society. While
there are various types of drug education programs, this paper will focus on the most
prominent and commonly used drug education programs. Several programs will be evaluated
in this paper, such as the Blueprint program, Strengthening families, Drugs bridge, and The
School Health and Harm Reduction Project. The Blueprint program focuses on school
curriculum, sources of support, teacher training, and public policies (Baker, 2006).
Strengthening families is an evidenced-based program that focuses on parenting skills and
strengthening the family unit (Strengthening Families Program, 2012). Drugs bridge is
considered a humanistic approach to drug education, with its use of an informed choice
approach and having learning occurring in a non-threatening environment. Drugs bridge
acknowledges that thinking, feeling, knowledge, and behaviors are all important in the
learning process (Mallick & Watts, 2007a). The School Health and Harm Reduction Project
focuses on school-based curriculums, with a particular aim to reduce alcohol related harm
(McBride, Farringdon, Midford, Meuleners, & Phillips,
2004). Several new treatment approaches are also coming into play, such as harm reduction
and internet-based intervention programs. Harm reduction should not be confused with the
zero tolerance or abstinence model. Zero tolerance interventions advocate for the prevention
of drug use through the promotion of no drug use. Drug use in any form is not tolerated and
the consequences for drug use are harsh. Zero tolerance interventions promote that users of

illegal drugs suffer the full legal consequences of their behavior (Munro & Midford. 2001).

Strengthening families, Drugs bridge, and The School Health and Harm Reduction Project.
The Blueprint program focuses on school curriculum, sources of support, teacher training,
and public policies (Baker, 2006). Strengthening families is an evidenced-based program that
focuses on parenting skills and strengthening the family unit (Strengthening Families
Program, 2012). Drugs bridge is considered a humanistic approach to drug education, with its

are all important in the learning process (Mallick & Watts, 2007a). The School Health and

of drug use through the promotion of no drug use. Drug use in any form is not tolerated and
the consequences for drug use are harsh. Zero tolerance interventions promote that users of
illegal drugs suffer the full legal consequences of their behavior (Munro & Midford, 2001).
Harm reduction, in contrast, focuses on reducing the incidence of drug use and risky drug
usage behaviors such as sharing needles with others. Harm reduction offers support to those
who want to reduce or moderate their drug use. While harm reduction is more focused on
reducing drug use, that does not mean such programs are against abstaining from drug use
(McKeganey,
2011). Overall, more recent programs focus on family and community involvement, social
influences, life skills training, interactivity (i.e., providing the students with contact and
communication opportunities with other students, peers, teachers, parents and professionals),
harm reduction, time intensity, and self-efficacy. Many are school-based programs, and are

RESEARCH DESIGN
The descriptive method was used by the researchers in the study. The purpose of this design
is to find out the impact of a drug education program for adolescence at Caybiga, Caloocan
City. And what do students do if they see drugs or are offered drugs.
PARTICIPANTS
The study was conducted at the Caybiga, Caloocan City.
Participants were selected from the school; if initially interested in taking part of this
research, they could be fully briefed regarding the requirements of the study. All participant
data was collected between May and June 2024. A total of fifty-nine people were approached
and fifty-one agreed to take part, (86% positive response). This comprised twenty-eight men
and twenty-three women. The age of the participants ranged from sixteen to nineteen years
old.
The ethics committee at Caybiga, Caloocan City. to give their approval for the research to be
conducted. A completed consent form was obtained from each participant.
INSTRUMENT
The researcher used an interview as the research Instrument of a study. The interview
questions consist five (5) questions on the effects of Drug Education Program for
Adolescence at Caybiga, Caloocan City. The questionnaire is a set of orderly arranged
questions carefully prepared to answer by a group of people designed to collect facts and
information. The first part is the questions to be answered by the respondent. I used
dichotomous in the survey questionnaires to specify the number of the respondents.
DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
After establishing the validity and reliability on how gather data, formulation questions
appropriate for the study and all doing necessary modification to the chosen respondent. Ten
(10) copies of questionnaires distributed will be successfully completed and returned. thus,
their corresponding answer to the question are kept in accordance with the agreement of the
respondents and the researchers. The data gather was organized and tabulated according to
INC.
the result of the statistical treatment done. in this stage, the service of a statistical consultant
was needed.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF THE DATA

The treatment and presentation of this data will be explained in part of this chapter. The
information gathered by the researchers from the questionnaire and respondents will be used
to analyze the survey's possible results. continuing the data gathered by the researchers, they
are now analyzing and explaining the data they have gathered and summarize it. This will be
demonstrated by presenting the total of the results for each question that the researchers
responded in the questionnaire. To find the percentage of the results of the data,

SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION
The effect of drug education program for adolescents the purpose of the study was to show
how effective drug education program for adolescents. Young people's drug use is shaped by
social, cultural and economic contexts. These contexts are also important in developing
effective education about drugs for young people. Effective drug education requires the
coordination of messages, and active support, by all levels of government and community.
Young people are more at risk of drug-related harm if they have poor relationships with their
families, communities, school or peers. Improving these relationships is one element in
effective drug education. The development of young people's strengths is likely to reduce
their chances of suffering drug-related harm. Development of strengths is one element in
effective drug education. Drug education is most effective when it reflects the needs and
attitudes of young people, and when it is delivered in an interactive manner. Young people
should also be involved in the development of drug education programs to ensure the
programs relevance. Information about young people's drug use is essential for developing
effective drug education programs. Effective drug education sometimes involves the
provision of factual and relevant information about drugs and drug use. In conclusion,
normative drug education practice needs to be understood as part of a national effort to
improve the effectiveness of drug education. Results of this study suggest that significant
effort has been expended on behalf of drug education. Future efforts should focus on: (1)
increasing teachers' conceptual understanding of concepts relevant to drug use prevention, (2)
increasing teachers' understanding about the distribution of drug use behavior and the normal
pattern of drug use onset and experimentation, (3) increasing training effectiveness for
building an allegiance to research-based strategies for prevention, and (4) training specifically
geared to emphasize the execution of methods associated with changing mediating variables
associated with drug use including the large-scale adoption of proven research-based
programs.
INC.
RECOMMENDATION
In the view conclusion stated, some of the recommendations are hereby presented:
o For students, they are able to easily understand what a drug education program is
about and it will be helpful for them, especially it they come across someone who distributes
illicit drugs to students like them.
o For parents and teachers, they can discuss with their children the importance of
understanding the meaning of drug education programs by reading studies or books that can
provide knowledge on how successful ways of drug education programs can be.
o For future researchers, this research is still available to future researchers, they can get
here a lot of ideas and information to facilitate their research.
CONCLUSION
Males more than females in the majority of respondents. The majority of responders do not
use drugs. Respondents agree on the importance of a drug education program in schools.
As part of our research, we performed a study and a survey in which some persons agreed to
participate in a drug education program. As our research developed, we discovered that boys
aged 16 to 19 were the least likely to use drugs.
My survey, which included a large number of questions, received a positive response to the
drug education program, showing the effectiveness of the drug education program for
adolescence.

APPENDICES
MARKETING PLAN
The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention promotes multiple
prevention strategies that affect the entire campus community.
Students do not make decisions about the use of alcohol and other drugs entirely on their
own, but rather are influenced by campus social norms and expectancies and by policy
decisions affecting the availability of alcohol and other drugs on and off campus, the level of
enforcement of regulations and laws, and the availability and attractiveness of alcohol-free
social and recreational opportunities. As one piece of its comprehensive approach, the Center
has prepared Social Marketing Strategies for Campus Prevention of Alcohol and Other Drug
Problems. It is intended for a broad campus audience, such as the members of a campus
coalition or task force staff, who might include faculty, alcohol and other drug (AOD)
prevention coordinators, deans of students, resident life directors, students, law enforcement,
and health services.
It examines both how social marketing draws on the lessons learned from commercial
marketing and how the two differ, and it illustrates, through the experiences of ten colleges
and universities, the benefits of a social marketing campaign.
Social marketing utilizes distinctive techniques to bolster the effectiveness of convention- al
health education and prevention programs. It uses messages and images as carefully
developed as those used in commercial advertising, but for a different purpose. Its strategies
can popularize positive ideas and attitudes and encourage favorable changes in social values
and individual behavior.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
In the Philippines, drug education rules and regulations are primarily guided by the
Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) and the Department of Education (DepEd). Here are some
key rules and regulations regarding drug education in the Philippines:
INC.
o Values Education: The DeEd's K-12 curriculum includes values education, which
incorporates lessons on responsible decision-making, health promotion, and drug
abuse prevention.
o Collaboration: The DDB, DepEd, and other government agencies work together to
develop and implement drug education programs. They also collaborate with
nongovernmental organizations, community groups, and other stakeholders to
enhance the effectiveness of drug education initiatives.
o Inclusion of Topics: Drug education in the Philippines covers various aspects,
including the effects of drugs on health, legal consequences of drug use, strategies for
prevention and intervention, and information on available treatment and rehabilitation
services.
o Teacher Training: The DepEd provides training programs and resources for teachers
to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively deliver drug
education content.
o Community Involvement: Drug education programs in the Philippines encourage
active participation and engagement of parents, community leaders, and local
organizations to create a supportive environment that reinforces drug-free living. It's
important to note that the specific details and implementation of drug education rules
and regulations in the Philippines may evolve over time. It's recommended to refer to
the latest guidelines and directives issued by the relevant authorities for the most up-
to-date information.
INC.
ADVANTAGES
o Posing the right questions to address the rising flood of drug addiction
o Educating those individuals unaware of its addictive and dangerous qualities
o Approaching the problem from a proactive perspective creates a scenario in which
levels of substance abuse education can be applied to an ever-expanding demographic
of people struggling with addiction.
o Teaching someone how to avoid, stop or get help for their substance use disorder
empowers them to not only address their substance use issues, but also overcome their
addiction entirely.
DISADVANTAGES
o a large number of drugs affect negatively the central nervous system of human beings
o Similarly, some drugs like meth are very dangerous for lungs and become the reason
of high blood pressure
o the problem of constipation and bad teeth are also some worse side effects of using
drugs
o drugs also increase the rate of heart and become the reason of mental boarders such as
depression, anxiety and stress.
