DRUG USE PREVENTION PROGRAMMING IN CONTINUATION SCHOOLS

继续教育学校的青少年滥用成人药物的风险较高 问题目前的预防计划可能不会完全影响社会 在高风险环境中参与和维持药物使用的影响 其中用户不是青少年中的少数，例如在 延续。然而，方案编制工作尚未落实， 在这种情况下需要。这项研究的具体目标是：在第一年， 调查规范与信息社会的影响， 政府透过药物管制计划对补习班学生滥用药物情况影响 与工作人员和学生的访谈;在第一年，比较即时 标准社会影响力基于课堂的组件的影响， 综合高中和继续高中的青年;在年底 在第一年和第二年，制定和试点一个完整的社会 影响力课程专为继续高中学生;在 第二年，制定标准的社区外展方法， 适应社会影响方案的成功潜力;年 3、完成一项疗效试验，涉及三组随机 设计共有24所补习学校，其中高风险 面向青年的计划将在有或没有社区的情况下进行测试 外展部分（每种情况下n=8），针对任何计划 这些学校通常提供8个其他补习学校（对照 条件），在第4年和第5年，完成一个密集的后续行动， 这些年轻人的子集来比较这两个项目对 使用香烟，酒精，大麻和其他非法药物，以及 作为衡量学生吸毒流行率的一般变化， 学校;在第4年和第5年，作为一项概括性研究， 一个重写的高危青少年计划与标准的社会 影响程序和身体后果注意安慰剂在一个 综合高中小三组随机设计 （总共n=9所学校）;最后，在第4年， 修改后的方案在两个非学校环境中的影响， 规模，探讨这一计划的应用，以青年群体的 极度危险综合起来，这些研究将证明 社会影响概念解释和加强预防的能力 高风险学生中的药物使用情况。

Youth at continuation schools are at higher risk for adult drug abuse problems. Current prevention programs may not fully impact on social influences which participate and maintain drug use in high risk settings wherein users are not a small minority of the teenagers, such as in continuation. Yet, programming has not been implemented and is sorely needed in this settings. The specific aims of this study are: in Year 1, to investigate the impact of normative versus informational social influence on drug use among continuation school students through interviews with staff and students; in Year 1, to compare the immediate impact of standard social influence classroom-based components across comprehensive high school and continuation high school youth; at the end of Year 1 and in Year 2, to develop and pilot a complete social influence curriculum tailored for continuation high school students; in Year 2, to develop a standard community outreach approach to enhance the potential for success of the adapted social influences program; in Year 3, to complete an efficacy trial involving a three-group randomized design with a total of 24 continuation schools, in which the high risk youth-oriented program will be tested with or without a community outreach component (n=8 in each condition), against whatever program these schools usually offer at 8 other continuation schools (control condition), in Years 4 and 5, to complete an intense followup of a subset of these youth to compare the effects of these two programs on use of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and other illicit drugs, as well as measure general changes in prevalence of student drug use at these schools; in Years 4 and 5, as a generalization study, to compare the efficacy of a re-written high-risk youth program with a standard social influences program and a physical consequences attention placebo in a small three-group randomized design involving comprehensive high schools (total n=9 schools); and finally, in Year 4, to test the immediate impact of the modified program at two non-school settings, on a small scale, to explore the application of this program to groups of youth of extreme risk. Taken together, these studies will demonstrate the capacity of social influence concepts to explain and enhance prevention of drug use among higher risk students.
