摘要:Generally, the youth people are the majority besieged and targeted group by the drug traffickers, especially those who still in the undergraduate educational level at the universities. This fact was demonstrated by many sherds of studies that shed the lights on the prevalence of this phenomenon over the university students in Jordan. Even that there are huge efforts to reduce this problem. Yet, the only guarantee to realize a real shrink in the drugs’ take is the self-contentment that would never be shaped without building solid awareness about their harms. Thus, this research aims at introducing the effectiveness of the proactive awareness program that is based on videos and documentaries. this program is designed for the purpose of creating self-disapproval trend towards the drug addiction over university students, also to tackled it by building self-contentment and encouraging them to distinguish the approaches that obviate them from the addiction. To achieve the objectives of this research, the researchers applied the descriptive and the quasi -experimental scientific approaches in order to develop the adopted measurement that evaluates the intention towards drugs. Also, to propose the proactive program. A stratified random sample was selected equivalently from all faculties from Mutah and Applied Balqa universities. The sample clustered as two groups; 60 students (males and females) from Mutah university who passed in the awareness program (experimental group), in contrast with the other 60 students from Applied Balqa university where the program did not apply (controlling group).The results evidenced a statistically significant differences between the means of the two groups (experimental and controlling groups) at a<0.05 with positive results that credited to the experimental group, which indicate the effectiveness of the program on the experimental group. Moreover, the results indicated no significate difference between the two groups at the confidence level a<0.05 according to the gender, sort of faculty, or student’s academic year. Finally, the research recommended and stressed the vital role of implement scientific programs, sessions and awareness documentaries in the media and universities to protect the youth in the universities from being victims of drugs.
