“…Since conflict of interest is an important issue it deserves further empirical analysis, especially in light of the emphasis now placed on the identification and dissemination of evidenced-based interventions in the field of drug and violence 2 It should be noted that a number of the independent evaluations of the SAMHSA model programs examined herein found little evidence of program effectiveness (e.g., Bauer et al, 2007;Hallfors et al, 2006;Harrington t al., 2001;Orpinas et al, 2000;St. Pierre et al, 2005;Vicary et al, 2006). Thus, the results of these studies are at odds with those conducted by the program developers.…”

Conflict of interest in the evaluation and dissemination of “model” school-based drug and violence prevention programs

Conflict of interest refers to a set of conditions in which professional judgment concerning the validity of research might be influenced by a secondary competing interest. The competing interest that has received most attention in the literature addressing the prevalence and effects of such conflicts on the practice of empirical research has been that of financial relationships between investigators and research sponsors. The potential for conflicts of interest to arise in the evaluation of drug prevention programs was raised by Moskowitz in this journal in 1993, but to date there has been no attempt made to estimate the scope of this problem. The present study addressed this issue using a sample of "model" school-based drug and violence prevention interventions by first, identifying the types or relationships that exist between program developers and program distributors, and, second, by assessing how many of the evaluations of these programs published in peer-reviewed journals had been conducted by the developers of the programs compared to independent evaluation teams. The data presented indicate that there are relatively few published evaluations that do not involve program developers and that there are few instances in which there is complete separation between the program developer and program distributor. Using the open systems model of the Institute of Medicine Committee on Research Integrity as a framework, it is argued that the culture and norms of the program developer and those of the program evaluator are fundamentally distinct and therefore failure to separate these roles produces high potential for conflict of interest to arise.

“…Este dato no tiene por qué sorprender: LST fue creado hace 30 años, y no ha sufrido ninguna clase de modificaciones, mientras que el mundo ha cambiado enormemente en ese lapso, especialmente para los adolescentes; sus autores, Gilbert Botvin y Kenneth Griffin (2004), han mantenido que su programa es muy eficiente, y han rechazado las críticas, negándose a introducir cambios. Otros autores han reportado igualmente pobres resultados (Gorman, 2011;Johnson, Shamblen, Ogilvie, Collins, & Saylor, 2009;Vicary et al, 2004Vicary et al, , 2006. Esto mismo ocurre, probablemente, con muchos otros programas de prevención.…”

original adicciones vol. 27, nº 4 · 2015For more than two years, Corporación Nuevos Rumbos (Colombia) has been carrying out, in eight Colombian communities, a preventive system called Comunidades Que se Cuidan (CQC), an adaptation of Communities That Care (CTC), created at the University of Washington (Seattle), developed for more than 25 years in the United States of America and implemented in eight countries of America, Oceania, and Europe. The system is based on the public health approach, and the social development strategy for community empowerment. The core idea is to teach communities how to make decisions based on data regarding drugs and alcohol consumption and the identification of protective and risk factors, on the basis of the original survey validated in Colombia: these will allow communities to choose the best preventive interventions, tailored for each of them according to their needs. This paper describes the process of implementation of CQC in Colombia, its differences with CTC, the creation of Colombian cutpoints, the main difficulties and how these were solved. CQC seems to be a preventive system with a wide potential applicability in other Latin American countries.

ResumoO presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir fundamentos teórico-conceituais e empíricos que embasam programas preventivos e de promoção em saúde mental na adolescência, com enfoque no desenvolvimento positivo. Constata-se que o Brasil apresenta progressos no que tange ao desenvolvimento e implementação de programas interventivos tendo avançado no campo da promoção de competências e do bem-estar dos jovens, ampliando sua ação para além da prevenção de comportamentos de risco. São tecidas considerações sobre contribuições da psicologia positiva para os programas interventivos frente à necessidade de reavaliar potencialidades e virtudes humanas. São também destacados os avanços nos estudos empíricos da adolescência, apontando as tendências da ciência e a emergência de investigações oriundas da aplicação das teorias sob a visão positiva do jovem. Por fi m, apresenta-se uma breve contextualização dos programas nacionais com foco na psicologia positiva. Conclui-se pela pertinência e interesse do desenvolvimento de intervenções baseadas nesta vertente teórico-prática, ressalta-se contudo, a necessidade de buscar o desenvolvimento positivo do jovem de modo efetivo nos programas interventivos nacionais, tal como ocorre no cenário internacional.Palavras-chave: Pesquisa de intervenção, prevenção, promoção, adolescência, desenvolvimento positivo. Adolescent Intervention Programs: Considerations on Positive Youth Development AbstractThis article aims to discuss theoretical, conceptual and empirical foundations that support prevention and promotion programs in mental health in adolescence, focusing on the positive development. It appears that Brazil exhibits progress regarding the development and implementation of interventional programs, having advanced in the fi eld of promoting skills and well-being of young people, and expanding its reach beyond the prevention of risk behaviors. The paper makes considerations on the contributions of positive psychology to interventional programs regarding the need to reassess potential and human virtues. It also highlights the advances in empirical studies of adolescence that indicate trends in science, and the emergence of investigations arising from the application of the young's positive outlook theories. Finally, we briefl y discuss the background of the national programs focused on positive psychology. The paper agrees with the pertinence and interest of the development of interventions based on this theoretical and practical approach, we emphasize however, the need to 1 Endereço para correspondência:
