The drug abuse by younger generation covering smoking and drinking comes up as a hot issue in Japan. It is terrible that the 26% of junior high school students have experienced drinking due to their parents’ temptation and caused increasing drinkers. This paper proposes an educational program to prevent students from drinking which can be implemented in the current curriculum “Health Management”. The Preventive Education Support System to Drinking which both students and their parents would be able to practice at home was implemented as an output according to the program.
This system supports the enlightenment procedure for parents or guardians and preventive action to student drinkers in trouble, through a human network linking a school, hospitals and homes to be the core of the prevention. It has been operated in the field, in collaboration with some junior high schools. The results of the subjective performance evaluation of the system with questionnaires show the effectiveness of the proposed system.
