Abstract
As the result of a perceived need for some type of classroom attempt at approaching the subject of drug use in society, an interdisciplinary class was begun at the School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina. Using funding from Project SPEED, a NIDA contract with the Student American Pharmaceutical Association, and continuing then for a three year period, the program was able to substantiate both a significant change in the cognitive levels of knowledge about drugs and its effect in society, as well as significant changes in attitudes of students to that of a more accepting attitude toward drug users as well as greater desire for social change related to stereotypes and current social policy.Keywords
