This study developed a "school-as-community" approach for drug prevention in California continuation high schools. It identified effective community activities to enhance youth engagement and trial outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Health
  • Community-Based Interventions

Background:

  • Drug prevention trials in schools require effective community engagement strategies.
  • Continuation high schools serve a unique youth population needing tailored interventions.
  • The
  • school-as-community
  • model aims to integrate school activities with community support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically develop and validate a
  • school-as-community
  • model for a school-based drug prevention trial.
  • To identify and categorize community involvement activities relevant to continuation high school students.
  • To establish a reliable method for selecting feasible and impactful activities for intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted two studies involving 96 school personnel and 144 students across 20 continuation high schools.
  • Generated an initial list of community involvement activities.
  • Reduced activities to a core list of 12 based on discussion and administered to 388 students for quality ratings.

Main Results:

  • Identified six distinct categories of community involvement activities.
  • Established a process for determining activities likely to be implemented within the school system.
  • Provided a method to limit activity variability for experimental drug prevention trials.

Conclusions:

  • The empirically derived
  • school-as-community
  • model offers a practical framework for drug prevention trials.
  • This approach enhances the feasibility and potential impact of interventions in continuation high schools.
  • The methodology can be adapted to select and manipulate school-community activities in similar research settings.
