Abstract
Drug abuse prevention in schools is a main concern in most countries and other prevention programs have the potential of preventing or delaying students’ drug usage. Some preventive programs are effective while others are not effective. The objective of this study is to find out the effects of Enlightenment campaign program (Drug abuse prevention program) on perceived Behavioural Control between the groups of students towards the usage of Codeine. A stratified random sampling procedure was used in selecting the sample. 900 respondents were selected from 9 randomly selected private secondary schools in the three senatorial zones in Katsina state, Nigeria. The respondents were grouped in to 5 different groups, group 1 are the respondents that attend the program every week, group 2 are the respondents that attend the program once in two weeks, group 3 are the respondents that attend the program once in a month, group 4 are the respondents that attend the program once in a term and group 5 are the respondents that never attend the program. The results revealed that there were statistical significant differences at p < .05 between the five groups compared, with regard to the effects of Drug abuse prevention program.
