“…The transition from laboratory to field settings is not a smooth one (Hulleman & Cordray, 2009), and there are a variety of sources of infidelity that can impact the theoretically expected differences between treatment and control conditions. One such source of infidelity often ignored is what happens in control schools (e.g., Sloboda et al, 2008). A requirement of study participation was that schools had not previously utilized PA or a similar SEL/SECD intervention, so that the PA program effects would not be confounded with other programs.…”

We describe challenges in the 6-year longitudinal cluster randomized controlled trial (CRCT) of Positive Action (PA), a social-emotional and character development (SECD) program, conducted in 14 low-income, urban Chicago Public Schools. Challenges pertained to logistics of study planning (school recruitment, retention of schools during the trial, consent rates, assessment of student outcomes, and confidentiality), study design (randomization of a small number of schools), fidelity (implementation of PA and control condition activities), and evaluation (restricted range of outcomes, measurement invariance, statistical power, student mobility, and moderators of program effects). Strategies used to address the challenges within each of these areas are discussed. Incorporation of lessons learned from this study may help to improve future evaluations of longitudinal CRCTs, especially those that involve evaluation of school-based interventions for minority populations and urban areas.

“…Studies in the field of prevention suggest that school-based drug prevention interventions should be research-based. That is, their effectiveness should have been demonstrated by evaluation studies, thus avoiding the waste of human and financial resources associated with actions that have little or no effect 2,4,7 . However, the implementation of research-based programs poses a challenge in various countries 8 .…”

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é identificar as características dos programas de prevenção ao uso de drogas desenvolvidos nas escolas brasileiras e verificar a existência de princípios de boas práticas de prevenção nestes programas. Estudo transversal com uma amostra probabilística de 1.151 dirigentes de escolas públicas e privadas. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário online. Regressão de Poisson permitiu identificar os fatores associados à maior quantidade de princípios de boas práticas de prevenção nos programas. Os programas se operacionalizam sem regularidade e com duração média de um trimestre, dirigidos principalmente aos alunos, com integração de diferentes modelos teóricos e promovidos principalmente pela Polícia Militar. As escolas privadas possuem 14% mais chance de apresentarem mais princípios de boas práticas em seus programas, quando comparadas às escolas públicas. Programas ofertados por uma equipe da própria escola ou por uma instituição da área de saúde ou pela secretaria de educação possuem maiores chances de apresentarem mais princípios de boas práticas. As ações de prevenção ao uso drogas nas escolas brasileiras necessitam de aperfeiçoamento das medidas adotadas. Os programas não se baseiam em evidências científicas e boas práticas em prevenção.
