Sample Activities:

 

·        AT-RISK - In 60 seconds, students list risk behaviors that might occur when under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. After a brief discussion of the behaviors, divide the class into groups of three to discuss the impact of alcohol and other drug use on sexual decision making. Students design a scenario
where the individuals are participating in some form of risky sexual behavior while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs (e.g., having sex without protection, drinking with a new acquaintance, drinking and participating in an initiation for a club or gang). Each group presents the problem and outlines ways to avoid the problem or reduce one’s risk.

Variation: Students analyze the connection between substance abuse and violent or criminal behavior. Students collect statistics on incarcerated individuals to determine the connection. In a brief essay, students outline ways society can assist individuals to stay drug-free once they are released from correctional facilities.
