We employ a developmental perspective to understand the conditions under which state health education curriculum requirements regarding alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) have protective or harmful effects on youth substance use. Multiple youth surveys show that rates of participation in risky behaviors such as consumption of ATOD remain troublingly high in the US despite two decades of modest improvement, suggesting wide latitude for public policy interventions to reduce youth substance use and its related harms. We will create and maintain an ongoing, comprehensive database of state requirements pertaining to ATOD education as well as a variety of other policies pertaining to health education and academic content adopted over the 1990s and 2000s. Developmental theory will guide our empirical models. This theory suggests that the effects of policies will likely vary with the biological age and personal characteristics (e.g., gender, self-control) of students; characteristics of the student's school and peer groups (e.g., prevalence of substance use; peer use); and characteristics of the programs themselves (e.g. duration, approach). We will test these theories with the first comprehensive quasi-experimental analysis of state requirements for ATOD education in health curricula by exploiting substantial variation across states in the timing and implementation of these policies. Our outcome data will include teacher reports of actual health education instruction and youth self-reports of substance use from several representative datasets. This research will significantly advance our understanding of the appropriateness of statewide ATOD curriculum interventions in youth substance use.

我们采用发展的角度来理解的条件下，国家健康教育课程要求有关酒精，烟草和其他药物（ATOD）对青少年物质使用的保护或有害影响。多项青少年调查显示，尽管经过20年的适度改善，美国参与危险行为（如ATOD消费）的比例仍然高得令人不安，这表明公共政策干预的广泛自由度，以减少青少年物质使用及其相关危害。我们将创建和维护一个持续的，全面的数据库，其中包括与ATOD教育有关的国家要求，以及与20世纪90年代和21世纪初通过的健康教育和学术内容有关的各种其他政策。发展理论将指导我们的经验模型。 这一理论表明，政策的影响可能会随着生物年龄和个人特征而变化（例如，学生的性别，自我控制）;学生的学校和同龄人群体的特点（例如，药物使用的普遍程度;同伴使用）;以及方案本身的特点（例如持续时间、方法）。我们将测试这些理论与第一个全面的准实验分析国家要求ATOD教育在健康课程，利用这些政策的时间和实施在各州之间的巨大差异。我们的结果数据将包括教师报告的实际健康教育指导和青少年自我报告的物质使用从几个代表性的数据集。 这项研究将显着推进我们的理解全州ATOD课程干预措施在青少年物质使用的适当性。
