This 160-page workbook is made up of 18 modules and lesson plans that teachers and other drug educators can use to engage young people in thinking about drug issues. Each module comes with recommendations about the appropriate age of the recipients; the length of time it should take and how it can be delivered; an outline of the task and expected outcomes; and issues that young people might raise. Suggestions for follow-up exercises are also provided, along with fictional case studies, brainstorming exercises, and quizzes.
Almost all of the exercises are aimed at 13- and 14-year-olds: only two are described as appropriate for young people under that age, and one is aimed at an older audience. Anyone thinking of using this book needs to be aware that it is not trying to be a structured programme of drug education, rather it offers a prompt that adults might use or adapt to run single sessions.
