A program for drug prevention was applied in the school setting with the aim of generating an adequate instance to favor interaction with teen agers. In that sense, topics connected to adolescents were discussed in order to detect the level of prevalence given to drugs as well as their knowledge about drug abuse. The hypothesis is that information will generate actions on the part of the students when drug is offered. The experiment was carried out with high school students from two public schools in San Luis. ECRO groups frame developed by Pichon-Rivière as well as other group techniques were applied. This methodology permitted students to talk from their own personal experience allowing doubts, misconceptions and questions about drugs to arise. The necessary information to clarify these issues was provided by the coordination of the experiment, helping students to build up a solid standpoint from where to deal with the risks of drug in their daily lives.References
