“…Past work on the validity of adolescents' reported substance use aside, substance-use rates among the present sample may be biased (Braucht & Braucht, 1984; Schinke & Gilchrist, 1983; Thompson & Wilsnak, 1984). The absence of a placebo or comparison control condition further precludes definitive conclusions about the efficacy of bicultural competence skills intervention.…”

Tobacco, alcohol, and drug use are problems for American-Indian people. We reviewed these problems and the explanations for them and described a bicultural competence skills approach for preventing substance abuse with American-Indian adolescents. Data from a study of that approach suggest its efficacy with American-Indian youth. At posttest and a 6-month follow-up, AmericanIndian subjects who received preventive intervention based on bicultural competence skills concepts improved more than did American-Indian subjects in a no-intervention control condition on measures of substance-use knowledge, attitudes, and interactive skills, and on self-reported rates of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use. Our findings have implications for future substance-abuse prevention research with American-Indian people.Earlier, in this journal, LaFromboise and Rowe (1983) noted the value of skills training to increase bicultural competence among American-Indian people. According to LaFromboise and Rowe, bicultural competence is the capacity of "making one's desires or preferences known in an Indian or in a non-Indian setting" (p. 592). Bicultural competence skills seem appropriate for use in helping American-Indian young people combat substance abuse and its related problems. More than other Americans, Indian and Alaska-Native children and adults suffer from such substance-related problems as school failure, antisocial behavior, unemployment, criminal arrest, and increased morbidity and mortality (

“…In response to such concerning drinking patterns, most college campuses have developed alcohol awareness or primary prevention programs (Braucht & Braucht, 1984). As with prevention programs for other groups (Moskowitz, 1989; Staulcup, Kenword, & Frigo, 1979), college-aged participants typically show changes limited to alcohol-related knowledge and attitudes (Kraft, 1984; Mills & McCarty, 1983).…”

This study evaluated secondary prevention approaches for young adults (N= 36, mean age 23 years) at risk for alcohol problems. Subjects were randomly assigned to cognitive-behavioral alcohol skills training, a didactic alcohol information program, or assessment only. The skills program included training in blood alcohol level estimation, limit setting, and relapse prevention skills. All subjects maintained daily drinking records during the 8-week intervention and for 1 week at each follow-up. Repeated measures MANOVA found a significant reduction over 1-year follow-up in self-reported alcohol consumption for the total sample. For all drinking measures, the directional findings consistently favored skills training. Despite overall reductions, most subjects continued to report occasional heavy drinking.

“…The modern generation of college-campus prevention programs may be traced back to the early 1970's, with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's and the states' stimulation of multifaceted prevention programs including educational activities and public information campaigns, affective education, and campus policies on the availability and use of alcoholic beverages (Department of Health and Human Services, no date; Kraft, 1976). Experience with primary reliance on individual-oriented educational approaches has proved disappointing (Braucht & Braucht, 1983;Schaps, DiBartolo, Palley, & Churgin, 1978). Policy-based approaches have become increasingly attractive, and are beginning to figure prominently in college policies toward alcohol (Anderson, 1985;Greenfield, 1977;Roark, 1985;Saltz & Elandt, 1986;Southern Methodist University, 1985).…”

A student health service and prevention research organization collaborated with a fraternity/sorority student planning group to establish an alcohol-problem prevention program for a 3,600-person Greek-letter community. Students created a program of multiple server-intervention strategies designed specifically to prevent problems with the use of alcohol at fraternity-house social events. Accepted as policy by students and the university, the program dealt successfully with several of these problems in its first two years of operation. However, early resistance by fraternity alumni advisors to the program's formal research/evaluation components has restricted further program development. The program is described in detail, and the resistance encountered by the program is analyzed as an issue for development of prevention policy in large organizations.
