Examining curriculum and noncurriculum effects of a middle school-based drug prevention program on early adolescent drug outcomes
type: CreativeWork
description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a comprehensive drug prevention program on early adolescent drug outcomes. The study assessed the immediate impact of the drug curriculum and a one year follow-up to determine long term curriculum outcome differences with students in a comparison school that received a traditional information-only curriculum. The experimental curriculum in this study used a skills-based approach derived from both the social influences and life skills approaches. Data were analyzed using Chi square analysis, analysis of covariance, net recruitment rates, and multiple regression.
