Attitudes of Whitehorse Canada Grade 12 Students towards Harm Reduction as An Intervention Strategy for Crack/Heroin Dependency
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigated the association between the psychological variables of conservatism, religiosity, sensation seeking, and health locus of control (HLOC) with Whitehorse Grade 12 students’ attitudes toward harm reduction as an intervention. A total of 138 high school students in Whitehorse Yukon, Canada voluntarily filled out a questionnaire designed to meet the objectives of the study. GLM multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that female participants reported higher levels of conservatism and religiosity than their male counterparts. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the impact of the psychological variables of conservatism, religiosity, sensation seeking, and HLOC on attitudes toward harm reduction as an intervention. The results indicated that only the variable of powerful others HLOC was significantly and negatively associated with the participants’ attitude toward harm reduction as an intervention. The findings were discussed in terms of the role that external HLOC, in particular, the belief that one’s life is controlled by powerful others, may play in the overall level of support for harm reduction as an intervention strategy for drug addiction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
