Methods: Quasi-experimental study was divided into 2 groups of 45 students each: group A: psychoeducation and group B: self-help group (SHG) directed by high school two fellows previously trained. We measured the knowledges, attitudes and skills (KAS) before and after the intervention, to measure the change caused. They were used tests statistics: t test for related samples and the McNemar test for paired data obtaining the p value. Results: The average age of participants was 15.89 years, all male. The most used drug was ethyl alcohol. Psycho-education versus SHG KAS improved as follows: knowledge of 7.36 improved to 9.62 (CI -4.036 -, 497, p 0.013) compared to 5.87 improved to 6.73 (CI - 1.431 - 302, p .003), attitudes of 2.58 improved to 3.26 (CI -,062-2, 209, p 0.032) compared to 1.60 improved to 4.11 (CI -2.021 to 10.319, p 0000), the practices of 4.31 improved to 5.44 (CI,612-1, 309, p 0197) compared to 3.29 improved to 3.49 (CI, 353 -, 729, p 0470). Conclusions: We obtained statistically significant changes in: knowledge and attitudes in both groups participating. There were no statistically significant differences in relation to skills. The intervention with a self-help group directed by high fellows is more effective at drug abuse preventing compared to psycho-education.
