The study sought to establish practices in drug and alcohol abuse prevention education in selected secondary schools in Zambia. This article is an extract from one of the objectives of the study. The background of the study emanates from the fact that despite escalating incidences of drug and alcohol abuse among schoolgoing children, little was known concerning prevention practices in Zambia’s secondary schools. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design to collect, analyze and interpret both quantitative and qualitative data from 514 respondents.The study found that learners were taught more of factual information than skillbased and normative education, schools used external prevention education providers, peer educators and involved parents in prevention service provision. Other practices included evaluation of prevention education activities through role plays, class exercise and question and answer sessions, and prevention education was targeted at all leaners in the school.On the basis of the study findings it is recommended that providers of preventive education should teach content that has the potential to reduce abuse by learners in the school such as drug refusal skills in combination with social life skills training.
