SCHOOL BASED DRUG PREVENTION PROGRAM

描述：(申请人摘要) 在经历了十年的下降之后，青少年吸毒率开始上升 上升，表明继续需要进行预防工作。而当 几乎所有的学校现在都有一定程度的酒精、烟草和 其他药物(ATOD)计划，对此类计划的性质知之甚少 课堂内外的努力。更进一步，尽管有30年了 在评估研究方面，许多学校继续实施以课堂为基础的研究 已知无效的课程。为了向“伟大的 “研究与实践脱节”，我们必须既理解 继续使用无效课堂课程的程度以及 学区通过和实施课程的过程。 这项研究的目的是确定该病的患病率和特征 以学校为基础的药物使用预防方案(校内外 教室)，并根据关键的学校分组确定任何差异；2) 估计具有已知功能的课堂课程的程度 有效的已被采纳和实施；3)调查因素 与采用和实施有效课堂相关 课程。本项目将使用三个数据来源：a 学校卫生政策与项目研究数据的再分析 (SHPPS)，疾控中心于1994年对学校进行的全国性调查；小学 从具有全国代表性的领先学校样本中收集的调查数据 ATOD预防教师以及ATOD预防协调员 在各自的学区；以及25个 这些学校(w/5个实地走访)已实施有效的学校 课程。 研究结果将对校本ATOD具有重要意义 通过前所未有的详细描述预防工作，评估 现有课程的价值，并提出战略建议 可以有效地传播预防科学的成果。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) After a decade of decline, adolescent drug use rates have begun an upward ascent, demonstrating a continuing need for prevention efforts. While virtually all schools now include some measure of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) programming, little is known about the nature of such efforts both within and outside the classroom. Further, despite 3 decades of evaluative research, many schools continue to implement classroom-based curricula that are known to be ineffective. To address the "great disconnect" between research and practice, we must understand both the extent to which ineffective classroom curricula continue to be used and the process by which school districts adopt and implement curricula. The aims of the study are to determine the prevalence and characteristics of school-based substance use prevention programs (within and outside the classroom), and to determine any difference by key school subgroups; 2) to estimate the extent to which classroom curricula with features known to be effective have been adopted and implemented; 3) to investigate factors associated with adoption and implementation of effective classroom curricula. Three sources of data will be used in this project: a reanalysis of data from the School Health Policies and Programs Study (SHPPS), a national survey of schools conducted by CDC in 1994; primary survey data collected from a nationally representative sample of lead school based ATOD prevention teachers, as well as from ATOD prevention coordinators in their respective school districts; and detailed case studies of 25 of these schools (w/ 5 site visits) of schools that have implemented effective curricula. Study results will have important implications for school-based ATOD prevention efforts by describing them in unprecedented detail, assessing the value of curricula currently in place, and suggesting strategies by which the findings of prevention science can be effectively disseminated.
