1985

Patterns of drug use for 847 adolescents from four different ethnic backgrounds were examined over a five-year period. Eight distinct patterns of use were identified. In addition to a nonuser group, only one large single substance use group emerged; that for alcohol use. Almost 60 percent of the participants were multiple users of two or more types of substances. Black students had consistently the highest frequency of single-cigarette smokers and the highest frequency of multiple use of alcohol-cigarette-cannabis in the last two years of the study. Asian adolescents showed only the highest level of single-alcohol consumption in Year 1, which vanished over time. Hispanics and Whites consistently contained the highest number of multiple users of alcohol-hard drug with either cigarette or cannabis or both. Comparing the patterns of substance use at three points in time, there was a general increase in drug use, as well as three distinct directions of movement: Stability, regression and progression. Results were discussed in regard to an upward or downward mobility theory of drug involvement.

The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an alternatives program entitled Channel One. The evaluation design included the collection of process and outcome data. Results of the process evaluation indicated that the program was operating consistently with the philosophy and procedures of Channel One. The outcome data indicated significant improvement in democratic patterns and alternative participation, but also indicated increased use of some substances and in frequency of drunkenness. The cost data indicates that the participant costs ranged from $180 to $214. The slight positive findings in the democratic patterns and participation in alternatives were offset by the significant increases in substance usage. Therefore, this program was not cost-effective in terms of the final intended outcome.
