The All Stars program showed better results than the D.A.R.E. program in reducing risky behaviors. Students in the All Stars program reported higher commitment, better ideals, stronger social bonds, and more conventional beliefs.

Area of Science:

  • * Adolescent Health
  • * Behavioral Science
  • * Educational Psychology

Background:

  • * High-risk behaviors in adolescents are a significant public health concern.
  • * Previous research identified key mediators influencing these behaviors: personal commitment, ideals, social bonding, and conventional beliefs.
  • * The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program is a widely implemented, but its effectiveness on these mediators requires comparison.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To pilot test the All Stars program as an alternative intervention for adolescents.
  • * To evaluate the All Stars program's impact on key mediators of high-risk behaviors.
  • * To compare the All Stars program's effectiveness against the seventh-grade D.A.R.E. program.

Main Methods:

  • * A pilot study was conducted to assess the All Stars program.

  • * Four established mediators of high-risk behaviors were measured: personal commitment, incongruent ideals, prosocial bonding, and conventional beliefs.
  • * Outcomes were compared between students participating in the All Stars program and those receiving the D.A.R.E. program.

    • Main Results:

    • * Students in the All Stars program demonstrated significantly better outcomes across all four measured mediators compared to D.A.R.E. participants.
    • * All Stars participants reported higher personal commitment to avoiding high-risk behaviors.
    • * All Stars students exhibited more ideals incongruent with high-risk behaviors, stronger bonding with prosocial institutions, and more conventional beliefs.

    Conclusions:

    • * The All Stars program shows promise as an effective intervention for reducing adolescent high-risk behaviors.
    • * All Stars appears superior to the D.A.R.E. program in positively influencing key behavioral mediators.
    • * Students reported highly favorable ratings for the All Stars program and their engagement within it.
