 * Drug, Alcohol & Health Education in Upper Dublin: Effective Educational Approaches**

Statistics for the Upper Dublin Township Police Department and the Pennsylvania Uniform Crime Reporting System prove the need for the school district and the community at large to address the endemic problems of drug and alcohol use. This report focuses on two related approaches to the problem – the High School’s health education curriculum and it’s Code of Conduct. Recommendations include a general initiative through the county which allows community members to work together, a comprehensive K-12 education curriculum, a parent/guardian awareness of the problem and an updated Code of Conduct that includes all students.
