Great strides have been made in identifying effective programs, strategies, and principles that focus on preventing and reducing substance abuse and related risky behaviors. Using multiple strategies in multiple settings and working toward a few common goals offers the best chance to prevent young people from using alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
Model
Programs are defined as well-implemented, well-evaluated programs that have
been rigorously reviewed by the National Registry of Effective Programs (NREP).
Developers, whose programs have the capacity to become Model Programs, have
coordinated and agreed with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) to provide quality materials, training, and technical
assistance for nationwide implementation. Model Programs score at least 4.0
on a 5-point scale on Integrity and Utility, based on the NREP review process.
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.
