Abstract

The results of the previous two studies provide some evidence that the impact of the two films on pupils’ attitudes to drugs may not be identical. However, neither of these studies was set up to examine this question directly. In this fourth study, we attempted to compare the immediate impact of the two films on pupils’ perceptions of the addictiveness and dangerousness of drugs, on their beliefs about why people take drugs and on their drug-related knowledge.
