In the context of drug and addiction prevention at school, it is important to provide students with expertise knowledge and to strengthen their personal, risk and action competencies. Science curricula in the Federal Republic of Germany show insufficient links to the substance class of amphetamines. To follow up on successful drug prevention, an intervention study was conducted with 112 students aged 15 to 18 years at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena in the fall of 2020. The effectiveness of the drug project day was to be tested by working through ten stations that address the illicit drugs amphetamine, methamphetamine and ecstasy in a methodically varied way [1]. The paper focuses on the statistical data analysis of the pre-post questionnaire survey, which determines interest structures and program effects. In addition, the content learning gains as a result of the free expressions of the post questionnaire are evaluated using qualitative content analysis. Furthermore, results of the groups' processing methods at each station will be presented through a fully standardized observation protocol that includes criteria of collaborative aspects and documents the intervention by a trained team of observers [2-4].

Keywords: Drug prevention, acceptance study, qualitative content analysis.
