Drug Education Meets Reality TV
New reality software gives teens the opportunity to experience drug addiction and its consequences in a way that goes beyond books, speeches and pamphlets.
A new interactive educational experience called Reality Tour is driving home the dangers of drug abuse in a new way. Rather than just preaching abstinence to teens, this realistic tour takes them through many of the potential consequences of drug abuse by simulating a drug arrest, overdose, funeral and other events they might experience as an addict.
Seeing Addiction Through New Eyes
The Reality Tour includes a 40-minute parent/child coping skills segment, and a self-assessment tool that offers suggestions for activities parents and children can do to help prevent drug abuse, including a six-week challenge to assess their own powers of self-discipline. It also provides first-person accounts from law enforcement and addicts in recovery through a carefully structured interactive interview process.
"I wanted to do something about kids becoming addicted to drugs and dying from heroin overdoses in my community," says Reality Tour's creator, Norma Norris, on the product's website. "One in four families have a member struggling with addiction," she added, explaining that as a parent she knew "that information had to be delivered in an engaging manner; it had to be true, emotionally charged and consequence-driven."
The Reality Tour made its debut in 2003 in one Pennsylvania county, slated for just a three-month run as part of a drug prevention and education campaign. When the response was overwhelmingly positive, Norris left her job in advertising and now works on making the Tour available nationwide. It's starting to catch on in other states. The program is already garnering notice from the experts, earning the national Acts of Caring Award, being named Community-Based Crime Prevention Program of 2008 and accepted to the federal government's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
