“…In this programme (ASSIST), ‘peer supporters’ communicated smoking prevention messages informally to their friends as part of their usual social interactions. The same model has effectively underpinned other studies targeting sexual risk behaviour 26, the use of contraception 59, cardiovascular disease prevention 60 and drug use 61, suggesting that there may be scope for further investigation of the use and effectiveness of this approach, particularly where it involves the activation and harnessing of peer networks.…”

“…To date, peer‐based programmes have been employed to target substance use, sexual risk behaviour, HIV prevention and psychosocial wellbeing among young people 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and there is promising evidence from existing intervention models 19, 22, 26. Earlier systematic reviews suggested that there was evidence that peer interventions could change behaviour, as well as improve knowledge 18, 27, 28.…”

Background and AimsPeer‐led interventions may offer a beneficial approach in preventing substance use, but their impact has not yet been quantified. We conducted a systematic review to investigate and quantify the effect of peer‐led interventions that sought to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people aged 11–21 years.MethodsMedline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to July 2015 without language restriction. We included randomized controlled trials only. Screening and data extraction were conducted in duplicate and data from eligible studies were pooled in a random effects meta‐analysis.ResultsWe identified 17 eligible studies, approximately half of which were school‐based studies targeting tobacco use among adolescents. Ten studies targeting tobacco use could be pooled, representing 13 706 young people in 220 schools. Meta‐analysis demonstrated that the odds of smoking were lower among those receiving the peer‐led intervention compared with control [odds ratio (OR) = 0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.62–0.99, P = 0.040]. There was evidence of heterogeneity (I 2 = 41%, χ2 15.17, P = 0.086). Pooling of six studies representing 1699 individuals in 66 schools demonstrated that peer‐led interventions were also associated with benefit in relation to alcohol use (OR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.65–0.99, P = 0.036), while three studies (n = 976 students in 38 schools) suggested an association with lower odds of cannabis use (OR = 0.70, 0.50–0.97, P = 0.034). No studies were found that targeted other illicit drug use.ConclusionsPeer interventions may be effective in preventing tobacco, alcohol and possibly cannabis use among adolescents, although the evidence base is limited overall, and is characterized mainly by small studies of low quality.

“…Later, Latkin et al 18 used a peer leader network intervention model to encourage risk reduction among IDUs. This drew on earlier peer leader models developed by Kelly et al 19 for HIV risk reduction among homosexual men and by Wiebel 20 to reduce HIV risk behaviors among IDUs.…”

“…Group-based interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects (Botvin, Baker, Botvin, & Diaz, 1995, for school-based interventions to prevent adolescent drug use; Kelly et al, 1997, for community-based interventions to prevent HIV; and Ialongo et al, 1999, for classroom-based interventions to prevent aggression and school achievement), including effects that can be obtained through``social norms marketing'' as described by Dr. Mann. However, group-based interventions can result occasionally in harmful effects (Dishion, McCord, & Poulin, 1999, for drug use).…”

Objective and MethodsOn April 25, 2000, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) convened a Roundtable on the Prevention of Eating Disorders to review the state of prevention science in eating disorders and formulate recommendations regarding future steps to be taken in this area of research.Results and DiscussionThis report summarizes the roundtable discussion. The discussion focused on four major areas: the state of the art of risk factors research, translational research, prevention research in related fields, and cutting‐edge efforts in eating disorder prevention.ConclusionsThe report concludes with specific recommendations. © 2002 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
