“…11,18,43 The findings of the present study have at least 3 important implications for future program development work involving adolescent substance abuse in Russia. First, we found that social self-control might be protective against alcohol and hard drug use among Russian adolescents.…”

“…In fact, a pilot study of a prevention program conducted on high-risk adolescents in Moscow suggests Russian adolescents’ willingness to learn skills of emotional regulation. 43 Such training is likely to promote prosocial adolescent-peer and adolescent-adult interactions. Project Towards No Drug Abuse (TND) is an example of a school-based adolescent substance abuse prevention program that addresses social self-control and has been successful in reducing substance abuse among US adolescents.…”

Objective To compare the relations of social self-control and sensation seeking with substance use across samples of US and Russian adolescents. Methods Cross-sectional data were obtained from 362 tenth-graders from Ufa, Russia, and 965 tenth-graders from California. Results Lack of social self-control was significantly related with higher alcohol and hard drug use in the Russian sample and higher cigarette use in the US sample. Higher sensation-seeking showed significant associations with higher cigarette and alcohol use in the Russian sample and higher alcohol, marijuana, and hard drug use in the US sample. Conclusion As with US adolescents, prevention programs for Russian adolescents may also benefit from being tailored to higher sensation-seekers and including self-control skills training.

A systematic review of adaptations of evidence-based public health interventions globally

BackgroundAdaptations of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) often occur. However, little is known about the reasons for adaptation, the adaptation process, and outcomes of adapted EBIs. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review to answer the following questions: (1) What are the reasons for and common types of adaptations being made to EBIs in community settings as reported in the published literature? (2) What steps are described in making adaptations to EBIs? and (3) What outcomes are assessed in evaluations of adapted EBIs?MethodsWe conducted a systematic review of English language publications that described adaptations of public health EBIs. We searched Ovid PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycNET, and CINAHL and citations of included studies for adapted public health EBIs. We abstracted characteristics of the original and adapted populations and settings, reasons for adaptation, types of modifications, use of an adaptation framework, adaptation steps, and evaluation outcomes.ResultsForty-two distinct EBIs were found focusing on HIV/AIDS, mental health, substance abuse, and chronic illnesses. More than half (62%) reported on adaptations in the USA. Frequent reasons for adaptation included the need for cultural appropriateness (64.3%), focusing on a new target population (59.5%), and implementing in a new setting (57.1%). Common adaptations were content (100%), context (95.2%), cultural modifications (73.8%), and delivery (61.9%). Most study authors conducted a community assessment, prepared new materials, implemented the adapted intervention, evaluated or planned to evaluate the intervention, determined needed changes, trained staff members, and consulted experts/stakeholders. Most studies that reported an evaluation (k = 36) included behavioral outcomes (71.4%), acceptability (66.7%), fidelity (52.4%), and feasibility (52.4%). Fewer measured adoption (47.6%) and changes in practice (21.4%).ConclusionsThese findings advance our understanding of the patterns and effects of modifications of EBIs that are reported in published studies and suggest areas of further research to understand and guide the adaptation process. Furthermore, findings can inform better reporting of adapted EBIs and inform capacity building efforts to assist health professionals in adapting EBIs.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13012-018-0815-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…These concerns bear on general issues relating to external validity and the generalizability of effects. Though it is not feasible to demonstrate intervention effectiveness in every possible population, there is a need to demonstrate robust effects across cultural contexts or, at a minimum, to explicitly consider the issue in conjunction with knowledgeable informants from a population in which the intervention is to be implemented (Tsarouk, Thompson, Herting, Walsh & Randell, 2007). Alternatively, program development may be facilitated by blending established principles with culturally adapted implementation.…”

Economic analyses of substance misuse prevention assess the intervention cost necessary to achieve a particular outcome, and thereby provide an additional dimension for evaluating prevention programming. This paper reviews several types of economic analysis, considers how they can be applied to substance misuse prevention, and discusses challenges to enhancing their international relevance, particularly their usefulness for informing policy decisions. Important first steps taken to address these challenges are presented, including the disease burden concept and the development of generalized cost-effectiveness, advances that facilitate international policy discussions by providing a common framework for evaluating health care needs and program effects.
