Correct Response: B. This activity fosters students' use of decision-making and goal-setting skills to enhance health, which supports two of the National Health Education Standards for K–12 students. In this activity, students are encouraged to reflect on a time in which they used advanced planning strategies to anticipate a risk situation, predict potential outcomes, decide on an appropriate response, and set a goal for taking action to reduce risks. Such activities help students' ability to apply decision- making and goal-setting skills when confronted with an offer of alcohol or other drugs. While other activities may teach tolerance (A), this is not a concern when teaching drug avoidance and prevention. The ability to distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic influences (C) may be helpful to students in understanding why people make certain health choices, but this would not be particularly helpful in developing skills for reducing potential health risks. Although negotiation and collaboration skills (D) are important and relevant to students, the approach described is not designed to foster these particular skills.
