Substance abuse attitude testing by a standardized survey
By Jeff Lakie
This is a short overview of a questionnaire used for
substance abuse attitude testing in testing a
CREATE (Curriculum Renewal and Evaluation of
Addiction Training and Education) effects on
Medical Students. My afterthoughts on substance
abuse attitude testing are in the end of the article.
The survey overview
Questions 1-8 check the comfort level of a
respondent.
Questions 9-38 deal with general attitudes.
Questions 39-51 deal students' attitudes to
pregnancy.
In the first part of this substance abuse attitude
testing sheet students had to answer to several
question concerning the level of comfort when
asking patients about various kinds of addictions
(smoking, alcohol and drug) and talking about their
effects. The second part deals mostly with
students' view of illicit substances abuse in their
neighborhood and at work as well as their opinions
on personal effects of drug abusing.
The first part of this substance abuse attitude test
was the most important in the whole survey for it
checked the students' attitudes to pregnancy and
substances abuse and their tolerance to them.
Questions included smoking, drinking alcohol and
drug use acceptance.
The sample questions may be found at
, but unfortunately
there is no place on the Net where the full form of
this substance abuse attitude testing sheet is
available to download.
Afterthoughts
What were the effects of the survey? Almost none.
It seems (as other uses of this questionnaire
shows) that short term courses on the effects of
drug abuse changes nothing is perception of this
problem. Maybe somebody should think of some
better way to spend money on drug use
prevention? Some long-term courses or mandatory
long-term help programs that deal with drug
addicts' may be one of the solutions, but it is
possible that we have to use some very different
approach to changing people's attitude toward
substance abuse, the one that will leave short-
term courses and leaflets in favor of something
else. But what would it be, I honestly don't know.
If you happen to have any idea on this subject,
publish it. I've been looking for publications on
this subject for a long time, but I was unable to
find anything worthy of noticing.
