Abstract
Eight years ago, Project KICK (Kids in Cooperation with Kids) at Florida State University (FSU) was developed in response to the need for a school-based drug education program. The specific purpose was to test a number of assumptions and models concerning alcohol and drug abuse prevention and its relationship to early intervention and health promotion. The program employed a community-partnership in drug education, parent involvement, and peer counseling. The objectives for achieving these goals were: teaching drug knowledge, drug refusal, and appropriate problem-solving skills; enhancing self-esteem and social skills; developing conflict resolution skills; and promoting increased family participation.
