Resumo(s)
Primary prevention, through universal interventions, aims at the development
of personal and social resources, and nowadays, it is one of the most important strategies
for the prevention of drugs abuse in youth. School setting is pointed out as one of the
best scenarios for health promotion actions. In this article are shown results of a Personal
and Social Competences Promotion Program - PSCPP [1] [2] which took place in two
schools in Lisbon. The program aims to prevent substance use, by means of developing
personal and social competences. 100 students, aged between eight and eleven years,
participated, mostly boys. The intervention occurred during school classes and was
based on role-playing activities. Evaluation showed significant positive results in what
concerns psychological difficulties, perception of social support, and problem solving
competences. Teachers’ evaluation pointed out a better social behaviour among peers,
as well as the importance of implementing programs promoting personal and social
competences in schools. PSCPP had a positive impact on children positive health.
Details of this project can be found in a manual [3].
