Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Substance Abuse Prevention
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Primary drug abuse prevention programs for adolescents (12-17) require effective evaluation tools.
  • Assessing behavioral and attitudinal outcomes is crucial for program effectiveness.
  • Community involvement in developing evaluation instruments enhances program relevance and adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a process and instrument for assessing behavioral and attitudinal outcomes of primary drug abuse prevention programs.
  • To create a reliable and valid questionnaire for evaluating prevention programs targeting adolescents.
  • To foster collaboration between researchers, administrators, and community providers in program evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • The Ohio's Prevention Evaluation Project (PEP) involved a collaborative development process.

  • A university research team, state administrators, and community program providers worked together.
  • A 41-item self-administered questionnaire was developed and assessed for reliability using the test-retest method.

    • Main Results:

    • A reliable, 41-item self-administered questionnaire was produced to measure adolescent drug use, attitudes, and behaviors.
    • The development process achieved significant buy-in and endorsement from community-based programs.
    • The questionnaire demonstrated good to excellent reliability for most measures.

    Conclusions:

    • The PEP process successfully linked service providers, administrators, and evaluators to create an effective program assessment tool.
    • The developed instrument and process serve as a valuable model for other communities evaluating prevention programming.
    • Collaborative development enhances the acceptance and utility of program evaluation tools in substance abuse prevention.
