Question

True or False : studies of school-based prevention programs in the 1970s showed that students who knew more about drugs and their effects were least likely to use those drugs.

Answer 1

False. Studies of school-based prevention programs in the 1970s showed that students who knew more about drugs and their effects were more likely to use those drugs. This is known as the "risky shift" or "boomerang effect" where providing information about the risks of drug use may inadvertently increase the perceived acceptability and experimentation with drugs.
