这项研究以纽约市7所城市学校的721名七年级学生(N=721)为主要样本，测试了药物滥用预防干预的有效性。药物滥用预防课程在促进一般个人和社会能力的更广泛干预的背景下教授社会抵抗技能，并由正规课堂教师实施。结果表明，该方法在当前药物使用的几种行为测量上是有效的，包括多药使用的测量和与未来药物使用相关的意向测量。此外，有一些证据表明，被推定为调节这类干预效果的因素(规范期望和拒绝技巧)。这些发现的意义在于，它们进一步支持了以前发现对白人中产阶级青少年人口有效的方法对市中心少数族裔青少年人口的普适性。此外，这是首次在市中心少数民族青年中显示出使用多种药物的效果。
This study tested the effectiveness of a drug abuse prevention intervention with a predominantly minority sample of seventh-grade students (N = 721) in 7 urban schools in New York City. The drug abuse prevention curriculum teaches social resistance skills within the context of a broader intervention promoting general personal and social competence and implemented by regular class-room teachers. Results indicated that this approach was effective on several behavioral measures of current drug use including measures of polydrug use and on intention measures relevant to future drug use. Furthermore, there was some evidence for factors presumed to mediate the effects of this type of intervention (normative expectations and refusal skills). The significance of these findings is that they provide further support for the generalizability to a minority inner-city adolescent population of an approach previously found to be effective with white middle-class adolescent populations. In addition, this is the first time that effects have been shown with inner-city minority youth for the use of multiple drugs.
