Key Principles:
Model Programs: are prevention
programs that have been rigorously evaluated and have repeated demonstrations
of positive outcomes.
Best Practices: are strategies,
activities, or approaches that have been shown through
research and evaluation to be effective in the prevention and/or
delay of substance abuse.
Promising Approaches: are
programs for which the level of certainty from available evidence
is too low to support generalized conclusions, but for which there
is some basis for predicting that
future research could support such conclusions.
