Substance abuse among teenagers has been spreading widely and become a serious social problem. However, teachers hardly realize its importance. Recently, substance abuse prevention programs show a tendency towards one time education. This study aims to research the effect of substance abuse prevention on high school students using the Life Skills Training Program. Two classes(36 students in the experimental group, 35 in the control group) at W High School in Daejeon were randomly sampled for this study from May to June 2002. Substance knowledge and attitude, problem solving, and assertiveness were examined as Pre and Post-Tests. The data was analyzed using frequencies, t-test, means, and covariance(ANCOVA). The results of this study were as follows； 1. Compared with the control group, substance knowledge in the experimental group was significantly improved(F＝176.317, P＝.000). And compared with the control group, substance attitudes in the experimental group were improved significantly.(F＝207.682, P＝.000). 2. Compared with the control group, cognitions to problem solving in the experimental group was significantly improved(F＝100.937, P＝.000). 3. Compared with the control group, assertiveness behaviors in the experimental group were increased significantly(F＝207.255, P＝.000). The study showed that Substance Abuse Prevention of High School Students was effective in improving substance knowledge and attitude, cognition to problem solving, and assertiveness behavior. Some suggestions based on the result are as follows； 1. Substance abuse preventive programs must be practiced properly and systematically with high school students in their regular classes. 2. Various preventive education programs must be developed for substance abuse where high school students can join in a community center, such as Community Welfare Center, Alcoholic Counseling Center, and Mental Health Center. 3. For the furthering of substance abuse preventive education, there must be continued research about not only students with problems of substance misuse and abuse, but also students without them. 4. There must be early determination of students with problems of substance misuse to be able provide school social workers with the opportunity for intervention.

방사선조사식품 선택에 있어 올바른 행동 변화를 유도하기 위한 근거자료를 마련하고자 건강행위를 설명하는 가장 중요변수인 자기효능감과의 관련성을 분석하였다. 방사선조사식품이 건강위험에 영향을 주는 이유로 "방사선이 위험하기 때문"이 33.1%로 가장 많았고, "방사성물질을 섭취하는 것이기 때문" 27.9%, "식품에 유전자 변이가 생기기 때문" 21.1%, "식품에 변질이 생기기 때문" 10.1% 등의 순으로 나타나 방사선조사식품에 대한 일반적인 이론과는 관계없는 정보로 방사선조사식품에 대해 인식되어 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이는 방사선조사식품에 대한 교육내용 구성 시 부정적으로 인식하고 있는 유전적 문제, 위험한 식품섭취와 같은 잘못된 인식영역에 대한 명확한 근거를 제시하는 것이 바른 인식 형성에 도움이 될 것이라고 본다. 건강관련 자기효능감은 방사선조사식품에 대한 정보습득 경험과는 r=0.148 (p<0.01), 방사선조사식품 구입 경험과는 r=0.077 (p<0.05), 방사선조사식품 섭취경험과는 r=0.113 (p<0.01), 방사선조사식품에 대한 지식과는 r=0.103 (p<0.01), 방사선조사식품에 대한 태도와는 r=0.076 (p<0.05), 방사선조사식품에 대한 행위와는 r=0.105 (p<0.01)의 정(+)적인 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이는 방사선조사식품에 대해 정보습득 경험이 있는 경우, 방사선조사식품 구입경험 및 섭취경험이 있는 경우, 방사선조사식품에 대한 지식, 태도 및 행위수준이 높은 경우가 건강관련 자기효능감이 높은 것과 관련된다는 것을 알 수 있다. 일반인 대상의 방사선조사식품에 대한 개입전략 구상 시, 잘못된 인식을 바른 인식으로 유도하는 지식제공 교육과 더불어 건강관련 자기효능감 수준을 향상시키는 교육을 병행할 필요가 있다. 올바른 정보제공과 자기효능감 수준을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육이 병행된다면 방사선조사식품을 선택 및 섭취할 수 있는 행동 변화가 증진될 것이라고 사료된다.
