Some drug prevention programs have attempted to re-focus the goals of their efforts into the areas of increased self-regard, behavioral change, and increased group cohesiveness. Aware of the many difficulties in evaluating such an approach, it was decided to measure changes in conscious self-regard, of students, the teacher's perception of this self-regard, and classroom group cohesiveness. There was a significant increase in cohesiveness and an accompanying increase in self-regard, though not quite statistically significant.

This study reports the level of participation of parents in a parent-targeted school-based drug prevention program, the differences between students whose parents participate and those who don't, and the implications for involving parents in future drug prevention programs. Among 1761 eligible seventh grade families, 1263 students (72%) and 1142 parents (65%) completed surveys assessing the quality of parent-child relationships as well as tobacco and alcohol use. Ten percent of eligible families attended at least one of the evening sessions. Compared to students whose parents completed the survey, students whose parents did not complete a survey were more likely to report they used tobacco, had more friends who used substances, were monitored less by their parents, had more risk-taking behaviors, had lower grade-point averages, and their parents had higher rates of tobacco and alcohol use. Parents who attended evening sessions had the lowest rates of tobacco use and reported spending the most time with their children. Parent-targeted drug preventions programs may stigmatize attending parents and may be unlikely to attract the highest risk families.

The researchers used grounded theory methodology to study the implementation of a school-based alcohol and drug prevention project in secondary schools in British Columbia, Canada. Preventionworkers (PWs) were responsible for working with school and community personnel in a collaborative process to develop, implement, and evaluate prevention strategies in the school using an adaptation of the Precede-Proceed Model for health promotion planning. Before they could begin to do this, PWs had to establish their credibility in the school. Once accepted, the focus of the PWs’workwas to reconcile the goals, values, and philosophy of the project with those of the school. In doing so, PWs encountered many practical dilemmas. The challenges in resolving these dilemmas are presented, and the implications for policy and practice are discussed.

This article discusses why community-based youth-serving organizations are natural settings for drug prevention programming. Based on a three-year study of a school-based drug prevention program adapted to the Boys & Girls Club setting and serving high-risk youths, we identify organizational impediments to implementing a structured prevention program in youth organizations. We also present some strategies the clubs used to achieve success in a nonschool setting where program participation is voluntary. Strategies include: 1) employing a team approach and making program institutionalization a goal; 2) choosing the “right” prevention program leader; 3) creating a special prosocial bonding group for program youths; 4) involving program graduates as recruiters and positive role models; and 5) developing community support. Drug prevention programming in youth-serving organizations can reinforce, supplement, and enhance school-based prevention efforts, thus providing communities with important drug prevention alternatives that go beyond the schools.
