Effective Drug Education Lectures
Prevention is also an important part of the Narconon program. The international spokesperson for Narconon is actress Kirstie Alley. She tirelessly promotes the benefits of a drug-free life attainable through Narconon, with numerous radio and television interviews and public appearances at fund-raising events. Other Narconon spokespersons gave nearly ten thousand lectures on drug abuse to approximately one million students in the 1980s and 1990s. These “Truth About Drugs” lectures result in a dramatic change in attitude toward drugs. As early as 1989, a study by the Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education measured the attitude change of students from the second grade to twelfth grade in high school and concluded:
“Narconon’s drug education program is effective in teaching students about the adverse consequences of drug abuse and has a very positive influence on the attitudes of students toward drugs. The most dramatic effect on attitude [was] observed in the borderline group of students – those indicating that they might use drugs in the future.”
Of the students in this category, 86 percent indicated that they were less likely to use drugs following the presentation.
