Abstract
Some drug prevention programs have attempted to re-focus the goals of their efforts into the areas of increased self-regard, behavioral change, and increased group cohesiveness. Aware of the many difficulties in evaluating such an approach, it was decided to measure changes in conscious self-regard, of students, the teacher's perception of this self-regard, and classroom group cohesiveness. There was a significant increase in cohesiveness and an accompanying increase in self-regard, though not quite statistically significant.Keywords
