      students].
PG  - 475-82
AB  - Adolescent smoking, drinking and illegal drug abuse (drug-related problems) in 
      Japan were treated as a legal model in the second prevention area. This study 
      showed the necessity and usefulness of early intervention concerning adolescent 
      drug-related problems as adolescent mental health problems. First, school nurses 
      were asked if they were consulted about drug-related problems by students. Many 
      school nurses in junior and senior high schools were consulted about drug-related 
      problems by students, and they emphasized the need for counseling systems for 
      drug-related problems by professionals. The second part of the study involved 
      brief interventions by the authors in high school students with a high risk of 
      drug-related problems. The authors went to three high schools and conducted brief 
      interventions on students who had drug-related problems and sought advice. We 
      prepared several screening tests for assessment of drug-related problems, such as 
      the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). Adolescent Alcohol 
      Involvement Scale (AAIS). Quantity-Frequency Scale (QF Scale). Core Alcohol Use 
      Disorders Identification Test (Core AUDIT), CAGE and Drug Abuse Screening Test-20 
      (DAST-20). In the brief interventions, the authors assessed drug-related problems 
      of students using these scales and advised them how to revolve such problems two 
      or three times. Twenty-two students accepted brief interventions. All of them 
      smoked, 62% of them showed problem drinking and 33% illegal drug use. At 6 months 
      after the brief interventions, 16 out of 21 students reported their drug-related 
      problems. Nineteen percent of them had reduced smoking, 67% of them decreased 
      drinking and one half of them decreased their use of illegal drugs. Results of 
      this study revealed the necessity and the usefulness of the brief intervention 
      for high school students with drug-related problems.
