Title: Peer effects in UK adolescent substance use : never mind the classmates.
Series: (Melbourne Institute working paper ; n.8/12)
Author(s): McVicar, Duncan | Polanski, Arnold |
Published: Melbourne : Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, University of Melbourne : 2012
ISBN: 9780734042682
ISSN: 1328-4991
Abstract: This paper estimates peer influences on the alcohol, tobacco and cannabis use of a school based sample of UK 15 year olds. We present evidence of large, positive and statistically significant peer effects in all three behaviours when classmates are taken as the reference group. When friends are taken as the reference group, using self-reports of perceived friends' substance use, we also find large, positive and statistically significant associations with own substance use. When both reference groups are considered simultaneously, the influence of classmates on own behaviour either disappears or is much reduced in magnitude, whereas the association between own and friends' behaviours doesn't change. The suggestion is that classmate behaviour is primarily relevant only inasmuch as it proxies for friends' behaviour, with classmates that are not also friends having relatively little influence on adolescent substance use.

Title: Report on key learnings from the Committee research trip 11-17 March 2012.
Series: (Report / Western Australia. Parliament. Legislative Assembly. Education and Health Standing Committee ; 14)
Author(s): Woollard, Janet (chair) | Western Australia. Parliament. Legislative Assembly. Education and Health Standing Committee
Published: Perth : Parliament of Western Australia : June 2012
ISBN: 9781921865480
Abstract: This Report is the third of six reports relating to the Western Australian inquiry into improving educational outcomes. It reports on the key learnings from the Committee's trip to the North West of the State. It focuses on health and educational issues. In particular, the Committee was struck by the prevalence of two major, preventable health conditions that have significantly impacted educational outcomes in the region. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) have lifelong consequences for the affected child as well as the community. Secondly, middle ear infections contribute to the prevailing low levels of literacy and numeracy as an inability to hear equates to an inability to learn. There is a substantial body of evidence which links poor hearing with lowered educational outcomes and a greater risk of involvement with the justice system. Several additional issues contributing to poor educational outcomes were identified during the research trip including school non-attendance, lack of support at home, and low self-esteem amongst students. These and other factors influence the poor literacy and numeracy skills in the Pilbara and Kimberley. [Executive summary, ed]

Title: The role of VET in alcohol and other drugs workforce development.
Series: (TD/TNC ; 102.30)
Author(s): Pidd, Ken | Roche, Ann | Carne, Amanda | National Centre for Vocational Education Research (Australia) (NCVER)
Published: Adelaide : NCVER : 2010
<b>ISBN:</b> 9781921413995 (print)<br />Abstract: The community services and health industries have experienced a period of growth in recent times. This report focuses on the sub-section, alcohol and other drugs, which has had difficulty recruiting staff. Through a survey of managers of alcohol and other drugs service agencies, the authors examine the potential for vocational education and training (VET) to play a role in developing this workforce. The report uncovers concerns managers have around the training content, delivery and assessment of VET qualifications and finds an overall preference for higher education qualifications. Vocational education and training is found to be a pathway to employment in this sector for entry-level students as well as those with higher education qualifications. [NCVER website]

Abstract: A report on information and alcohol use among upper primary school students in New South Wales in 1993. A survey was administered to 2406 randomly sampled students across New South Wales, and was conducted by the NSW Drug and Alcohol Directorate, with analyses by the School of Community Medicine. Comparisons were made across the 1986, 1989 and 1993 surveys, and the result has been a significant decline in the prevalence of students who had ever tried smoking since 1986. This decline was for both boys and girls, and occurred across age groups. There was also a smaller decline in those that had consumed a whole glass of alcohol, however rates of analgesic use remained high. The data suggests an overall decline in students experimenting with tobacco and alcohol, but the proportion who regularly used alcohol or other drugs has remained constant or increased.
