ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to investigate the impact of drama on the drug abuse knowledge and attitude of undergraduate students of the University of Benin. Two research questions and two hypotheses were raised and analyzed for the purpose of the study. A purposive sampling technique was used in selection of fifty (50) undergraduate students which were drawn from the Departments of Health, Safety and Environmental Education (HSE) in the Faculty of Education, University of Benin for the purpose of the study. The data were collected with questionnaire instrument and analyzed using simple percentage. It was discovered that students from the experimental group who attended the health education workshop have good attitude towards drug abuse and its dangers and effects compared to students in the control group who didn’t attend the health education workshop. The difference in their attitudes was significant, based on the data from the findings of this study. It was also revealed through further findings of this study that students from the experimental group who were taught about drug abuse in the health education workshop have high knowledge about drug abuse and its effects compared to students in the control group who were not part of the health education workshop. Only few of the students in the control group had a surface knowledge about drug abuse.
