“…Reliability (K-R 20) for the SII at the follow-up assessment 5½ years past baseline was in the range expected for this type of index (0.58- . Prior studies have reported the use of similar substance use indices and their predictive validity (Spoth et al, 1999;Trudeau et al, 2003), consistent with the general literature on the validity of such self-report measures (e.g., Botvin et al, 1995;Elliott et al, 1983;Williams et al, 1995).…”

“…This study incorporated a multicomponent intervention, addressing such factors in both socializing environments. The intervention consisted of two theory-based programs: the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP 10-14; Molgaard et al, 2000); and Life Skills Training (LST; Botvin et al, 1995), a school-based universal intervention. Together they target a wide range of empirically-and theoretically-supported factors (e.g., family-, individual-, peer-, and school-related) associated with adolescent substance use.…”

This article reports adolescent substance use outcomes of universal family and school preventive interventions 5½ years past baseline. Participants were 1677 7th grade students from schools (N = 36) randomly assigned to the school-based Life Skills Training plus the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (LST + SFP 10-14), LST-alone, or a control condition. Selfreports were collected at baseline, 6 months later following the interventions, then yearly through the 12th grade. Measures included initiation-alcohol, cigarette, marijuana, and drunkenness, along with a Substance Initiation Index (SII)-and measures of more serious use-frequency of alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use, drunkenness frequency, monthly poly-substance use, and advanced poly-substance use. Analyses ruled out differential attrition. For all substance initiation outcomes, one or both intervention groups showed significant, positive point-in-time differences at 12th grade and/or significant growth trajectory outcomes when compared with the control group. Although no main effects for the more serious substance use outcomes were observed, a higher-risk subsample demonstrated significant, positive 12th grade point-in-time and/or growth trajectory outcomes for one or both intervention groups on all measures. The observed pattern of results likely reflects a combination of predispositions of the higher-risk subsample, the timing of the interventions, and baseline differences between experimental conditions favoring the control group.

“…Group-based interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects (Botvin, Baker, Botvin, & Diaz, 1995, for school-based interventions to prevent adolescent drug use; Kelly et al, 1997, for community-based interventions to prevent HIV; and Ialongo et al, 1999, for classroom-based interventions to prevent aggression and school achievement), including effects that can be obtained through``social norms marketing'' as described by Dr. Mann. However, group-based interventions can result occasionally in harmful effects (Dishion, McCord, & Poulin, 1999, for drug use).…”

Objective and MethodsOn April 25, 2000, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) convened a Roundtable on the Prevention of Eating Disorders to review the state of prevention science in eating disorders and formulate recommendations regarding future steps to be taken in this area of research.Results and DiscussionThis report summarizes the roundtable discussion. The discussion focused on four major areas: the state of the art of risk factors research, translational research, prevention research in related fields, and cutting‐edge efforts in eating disorder prevention.ConclusionsThe report concludes with specific recommendations. © 2002 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Prevention approaches designed to decrease the impact of social influences to use tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs by teaching resistance skills and antisubstance use norms either alone or in combination with teaching generic personal selfmanagement skills and social skills have been shown to significantly reduce the rate of adolescent substance use (Botvin & Griffin, 2003). In some instances, reductions in substance use have been observed for over five years (Botvin, Baker, Dusenbury, Botvin, & Diaz, 1995;Griffin, Botvin, & Nichols, 2006). Moreover, evidence from recent follow-up studies testing universal, school-based prevention approaches demonstrates the potential of these interventions for preventing multiple problem behaviors, including some not directly targeted.…”

Abstract:Violence is an important public health problem among adolescents in the United States. Substance use and violence tend to co-occur among adolescents and appear to have similar etiologies. The present study examined the extent to which a comprehensive prevention approach targeting an array of individual-level risk and protective factors and previously found effective in preventing tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use is capable of decreasing violence and delinquency. Schools (N=41) were randomly assigned to intervention and control conditions. Participants in the 20 intervention schools received the Life Skills Training prevention program including material focusing on violence and the media, anger management, and conflict resolution skills. Survey data were collected from 4,858 sixth grade students prior to the intervention and three months later after the intervention. Findings showed significant reductions in violence and delinquency for intervention participants relative to controls. Stronger prevention effects were found for students who received at least half of the preventive intervention. These effects include less verbal and physical aggression, fighting, and delinquency. The results of this study indicate that a school-based prevention approach previously found to prevent tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use can also prevent violence and delinquency.
