About this Unit
This unit examines drug issues in the context of Australian society. It will focus on exploring factual information and common misconceptions (including personal attitudes and values), societal expectations and responses, drug education, drug education programs and health promotion, and community resources. It encourages students to appreciate the many and varied social contexts of drug use and to think critically and analytically about creative alternatives to drug use issues in contemporary society.
