High school teachers have a new tool in helping students build the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy choices. Rx for Understanding: Preventing Prescription Drug Abuse is a comprehensive resource guide with ten lessons aligned to national standards in health education and to the Common Core State Standards for high school.
Rx for Understanding: Preventing Prescription Drug Abuse was developed by the National Education Association Health Information Network (NEA HIN) in partnership with RxSafetyMatters, a program of Purdue Pharma L. P. and joins Rx for Understanding: Be Smart about Prescription Drugs which focused on middle school students.
Both resources offer educators the versatility of using the lessons in multiple subjects. The lessons can also be used as the primary curriculum for this subject or as a supplement to existing curriculum. The resources includes background information on the issues of proper use, misuse, and abuse of prescription drugs, lessons, a reproducible student journal, a standards alignment chart, and resources for communicating with parents.
Copies of both editions of Rx for Understanding are available from the NEA HIN store or can be downloaded from the links above.
