Brief SAY IT STRAIGHT training and follow-up in adolescent substance abuse prevention

“…Alcohol/drug related school suspensions were not found in 1983-84 among 5th graders whether or not they were trained. However, such suspensions were significantly lower among the 1564 6th-9th graders who had received training either in the 1982-83 or the 1983-84 school year compared to the 1295 6th-9th graders who were not trained (p < .05).School-based programs which teach skills to resist peer pressure appear very promising in alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse prevention (Botvin & Eng, 1982;Englander-Golden, Elconin, & Miller, 1985;Evans, Rozelle, Maxwell, Raines, Dill, & Guthrie, 1981;Evans, Rozelle, Mittelmark, Hansen, Bane, & Havis, 1978;Horan & Williams, 1982;Hurd, Johnson, Pechacek, Bast, Jacobs, & Luepker, 1980; McA1-ister, Perry, Killen, Slinkard, & Maccoby, 1980;McAlister, Perry, & Maccoby, 1979;. Recently published results from the SAY IT STRAIGHT (SIS) project, (Englander-Golden, et al, 1985) showed significantly fewer alcohol/drug related school suspensions and referrals in the middle school (6th-8th graders) where SIS training was conducted compared to two control middle schools in the same city during the 1982-83 school year.…”

“…Social Inoculation Theory (Evans et al, 1981) is an extension of Cognitive Inoculation Theory and addresses the many social influences, attitudes, and beliefs that put pressure on adolescents to smoke, drink, or use drugs.
