Abstract

The authors tested the effectiveness of 2 alcohol and drug abuse prevention programs among inner-city minority 7th-grade students (N = 639) from 6 New York City public schools. Schools were randomly assigned to receive (a) a generic skills training preven-tion approach, (b) a culturally focused prevention approach, or (c) an information-only control. Results indicate that students in both prevention approaches had lower intentions to drink beer or wine in the future relative to students in the control group. The generic skills training approach also showed promise in terms of intention to drink hard liquor and use illicit drugs. Both prevention programs influenced several mediating variables in a direction consistent with nondrug use. The study provides preliminary support for the 2 approaches with respect to alcohol and drug use prevention among minority youths in New York City. Alcohol and drug abuse continue to be among the most pressing problems facing our society (Johnston, O'Malley, & Bachman, 1989). At-tempts to develop effective drug treatment pro-

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
