Characteristics of Effective Curriculum-Based Programs: In an earlier publication by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, author Douglas Kirby, Ph.D. identified a number of programs that have been shown through rigorous evaluation to increase the age of first sex, improve use of condoms or contraception among sexually active teens, and/or to actually reduce teen pregnancy. Many of these effective programs were guided by a clear curriculum, and are therefore referred to here as curriculum-based programs, or "c-b programs." Some of these c-b programs were offered in schools, others outside of school. Interestingly, Kirby found that the effective programs share ten common characteristics. This "Science Says" research brief summarizes these characteristics and offers a few additional thoughts about their wider applicability to other programs to reduce teen pregnancy. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, 2003, 3pp.

Choosing Appropriate Channels of Communication: Selecting the appropriate channels--the route or methods of message delivery--takes time. But the results are worth the extra effort. A multichannel approach not only helps ensure that the target audience is exposed to a message but also increases the chances that the message is heard, understood, and finally, acted upon. Each exposure to a message reinforces its meaning. Ideally, you should combine community, interpersonal, and mass media channels to take advantage of the strengths of each and to provide repetition and maximum exposure to your message.

Craving Research: Implications for Treatment: Many researchers and clinicians consider craving an important contributor to the development and maintenance of alcoholism. Craving has been described as a powerful urge to drink or as intense thoughts about alcohol. Understanding the exact nature of craving has been difficult. Nevertheless, scientists have accumulated a large amount of data on its mechanisms and manifestations. This Alcohol Alert reviews how this information has stimulated the development of psychological and pharmacological approaches for maintaining abstinence among alcoholics during and after treatment. NIAAA, 2001, 4pp.

Cultural Competency and Prevention Programs: Introduction to "Caring Communities" publications produced by the Clearinghouse. WC, 1997, 7pp.
E011

Culturally Competent Approaches to Media Literacy: Media literacy is a viable communication strategy that can be a key part of a youth substance abuse prevention program by providing essential life skills to critically interpret and influence media. Like any strategy, its use with diverse populations requires careful deliberation and adaptation - a culturally competent approach. Media literacy becomes culturally competent when adaptations are tailored for specific cultural groups - to the way in which they utilize media and the ways that media depict and target them. Such tailoring ensures that the activities and benefits of media literacy, such as resistance to pro-use messages, are relevant and accessible to youth of all cultures. Media literacy empowers youth and communities to make healthier decisions and create healthier media environments. CSAP Technical Assistance Bulletin. CSAP, 2000, 8pp.
