Abstract
Adolescent substance abuse continues to pose a major threat to student
well-being and academic performance. While video-assisted teaching has emerged
as a powerful educational tool, its effectiveness is often moderated by the
degree of parental involvement and the quality of family communication. This
study analyzes how parental supervision and open family dialogue influence
students’ responses to video-assisted substance abuse education programs. A
quantitative analytical design was employed among 120 higher secondary students
selected through stratified random sampling from three selected secondary
schools in East Tambaram. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire
measuring students’ knowledge, attitude, and behavioral intention toward
substance use before and after exposure to a video-assisted teaching module.
Parental supervision and family communication were assessed using validated
scales. Statistical analyses, including paired t-tests and Pearson’s
correlation, were applied to determine the relationship between parental
factors and post-intervention student responses. The analysis revealed a
significant improvement (p < .01) in students’ knowledge and attitude scores
following the intervention. Moreover, parental supervision (r = .62) and
positive family communication (r = .57) demonstrated strong positive
correlations with improved student outcomes. Participants who reported higher
levels of parental engagement showed better retention of educational content
and stronger aversion to substance use compared to those with limited
supervision.
