harm reduction and health curricula

hello from london again! I am currently in the process of getting a bid together (at very short notice) to fund a project which evaluates the impact of providing standard (which is just 3 hours of drug/alc awareness, and a bit about detox) plus extended lectures on harm reduction to student nurses (RN's) in terms of attitudes towards drug use/users (versus students who just get the standard teaching). I have reviewed a few attitude to drug use/users questionnaires but none have got me excited .... does anyone know of any good measures in this area?
thanks
peter
