Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Fleming County Cooperative Extension Service implemented Truth & Consequences: The Choice is Yours, a scenario based role-play activity designed to help students learn more about the physical, legal, financial, and emotional consequences of substance abuse, for 189 high school freshmen. This program was held in cooperation with the Fleming County School District and the local FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America). Fifty –five community partners and adult volunteers participated in the event to make it a success. After participating in the program, Students evaluation results reveled the following: 80% of students gained knowledge on the risks of using prescription drugs as an illegal substance. 90% of students reported that they were now aware that a DUI can be given to someone under the age of 21. The post evaluation also showed an increase in the number of students who realized that their poor choices could affect more than just them personally. It affects the whole family, both mentally and financially.
