Training Modalities

Why do we, as drug educators, conduct training programs for school, community, and agency personnel? If our ultimate goal is to produce a cadre of skilled trainees who will be effective in primary prevention ventures, then we should be quite disappointed. This article describes and provides examples of the three major training modalities currently in vogue. The strengths and weaknesses of each are examined and then integrated to build a recommended model for future training efforts.

Benefit Evaluation

This paper represents a first step in the application of the principles of cost-effectiveness/cost-benefit analysis to primary drug abuse prevention programs. Four primary prevention programs, representative of the four program modalities, were selected as a basis for exploring the feasibility of applying the methodology and using existing data. The basic conclusion from this study is that cost-effectiveness/benefit evaluation is feasible for primary prevention programs. However, at the present time widespread use is constrained by the lack of proper control groups and the lack of drug-specific data at the program level.
