EVALUATION OF CHEMICAL PEOPLE PROGRAM <br /> • The program, "The Chemical People: shown on Channel 2 Television on <br /> November 1st, 2nd and 3rd and the four town meetings associated with it <br /> were publicized by the St. Anthony Chemical Abuse Information Committee <br /> by: <br /> 1. Posters in school and community <br /> 2. Naegle sign (sponsored by Kiwanas) <br /> 3. Sign in front of school advertised town meetings, <br /> times and places. <br /> 4. An article in the St. Anthony bulletin <br /> 5. Two articles in Focus <br /> 6. A meeting set up by S.A.C.A.I.C. for community organiza- <br /> tions and churches to provide information on the <br /> program and offer book on how to have a town meeting. <br /> 7. Educators video shown in High School, Middle School, <br /> Wilshire Park and St. Charles Borromeo. <br /> 8. a. Shown to all teachers at Wilshire <br /> Park and St. Charles. <br /> b. Available to teachers (2 days) for <br /> viewing at their convenience in High <br /> School and Middle School. <br /> 8. Study guides provided to all teachers in Middle School <br /> Wilshire Park, and St. Charles. (In high school it was <br /> available to those who saw the publicity video.) <br /> • Town meeting attendance was low at St. Charles, Elmwood Lutheran and the High <br /> School library, (10 or less) but at Nativity 20/30 persons attended each <br /> evening. (The small group at the Nigh School joined them Wednesday and <br /> Thursday.) Pat Norman at St. Charles reported that discussion was informative <br /> and viewpoints were shared openly. She felt many parents had stayed home to <br /> watch the program with their family. <br /> School Survey <br /> A short survey was given to all school staff to evaluate use of the program. <br /> Results are as follows: <br /> INFORMATION <br /> SCHOOL No. of surveys Encouraged students Used Program Watched Program <br /> returned to watch Study Guide lot 2nd 3rd <br /> Wilshire Pk 8 1 1 4 3 1 <br /> Middle School 18 10 7 11 7 8 <br /> High School 15 1 5 1 5 6 6 <br /> St. Charles 13 3 0 5 5 5 <br /> It is difficult to evaluate a program such as this because we can't know what <br /> • effect it may have had on individuals watching at home. It may have made many <br /> parents aware and hopefully helped some to seek help. <br /> Letters have been sent to persons sponsoring town meeting asking about future <br /> plans and offering help with programs. <br />
