“…Among the programs that are based on behavioral intention are Kim et al (2021) (web-based) and Onrust et al (2017) ( Fresh Start program), based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour which states that behavioral intention is the direct determinant of changing to healthy behavior and that people with solid intentions strive to achieve the goal of not drinking and are more easily motivated to change their behavior ( Ajzen and Madden, 1986 ). Mantente REAL ( Kulis et al, 2020 ) (uses ecological risk and Resiliency Theory , Communication Competence Theory , and Narrative Theory ), a Spanish language version of keepin’ it REAL (kiREAL), increases the use of culturally accepted drug resistance skills and promotes non-permissive norms and attitudes about substance use ( Gosin et al, 2003 ). Motivational Interviewing (BIMI) ( Reyes-Rodríguez et al, 2019 ) seeks to identify a present or latent problem about consumption and from there motivate the person to carry out a change ( Pilowsky and Wu, 2013 ).…”

“… Gonzales et al (2018) used the Bridges/Puentes program, which significantly reduced the likelihood of developing an alcohol use disorder five years later. The results of Kulis et al (2020) ( Mantente REAL prevention program) showed relatively less frequent use of alcohol, and higher risk students reported relative reductions in the frequency of alcohol use, especially males. Mogro-Wilson et al (2017) , using the RRR, found significantly reduced inebrity from alcohol use, decreased social norms and acceptance of alcohol, and increased perceptions about negative perceptions and consequences of alcohol use.…”

“…Beginning with school-based prevention programs based in Theory of Planned Behavior ( Kim et al, 2021 ), Refuse, Remove, Reasons ( Mogro-Wilson et al, 2017 ), Preventure ( Lammers et al, 2017 ), The GOOD Life ( Vallentin-Holbech et al, 2019 ), Mantente REAL ( Kulis et al, 2020 ), Motivational Interviewing ( Reyes-Rodríguez et al, 2019 ), Primavera ( Diaz et al, 2021 ), Fresh Start ( Onrust et al, 2017 ), and Bridges/Puentes ( Gonzales et al, 2018 ), all are effective in increasing attitudes and intention toward alcohol prevention behavior, decreasing social norms and acceptance of alcohol, reducing insobriety, and increasing perceptions about negative consequences of drinking. In contrast to this, the prevention program called Unplugged not only did not show effectiveness in the study by Valente et al (2019) , but even seemed to increase alcohol use initiation in the studies by Sanchez et al (2017) and Sanchez et al (2018) .…”

Prevention of Alcohol Consumption Programs for Children and Youth: A Narrative and Critical Review of Recent Publications

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundYouth substance use is a public health problem globally, where alcohol is one of the drugs most consumed by children, and youth prevention is the best intervention for drug abuse.ObjectiveReview the latest evidence of alcohol use prevention programs in empirical research, oriented to all fields of action among children and youth.MethodsA narrative and critical review was carried out within international databases (PsychInfo, Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus) in August 2021 and was limited to empirical studies that appeared in the last five years (2017–2021). A flow diagram was used according to the PRISMA statements. Empirical research articles in English with RCTs and quasi-experimental design that included alcohol, children, and young people up to 19 years of age (universal, selective, or indicated programs) were included. The authors examined the results and conceptual frameworks of the Prevention programs by fields of action.ResultsTwenty-two articles were found from four fields of action: school (16), family (2), community (2), and web-based (2), representing 16 alcohol prevention programs. School-based alcohol prevention programs are clinically relevant [Theory of Planned Behavior, Refuse, Remove, Reasons, Preventure, The GOOD Life, Mantente REAL, Motivational Interviewing (BIMI), Primavera, Fresh Start, Bridges/Puentes], they are effective in increasing attitudes and intentions toward alcohol prevention behavior, while decreasing social norms and acceptance of alcohol, reducing intoxication, and increasing perceptions with regards to the negative consequences of drinking.DiscussionThis narrative and critical review provides an updated synthesis of the evidence for prevention programs in the school, family, community, and web-based fields of action, where a more significant number of programs exist that are applied within schools and for which would have greater clinical relevance. However, the prevention programs utilized in the other fields of action require further investigation.

“…kiR-Plus (developed to deal with the transition period that adolescents go through) and kiR Acculturation Enhanced -kiR-AE (developed especially for Hispanic students in the process of acculturation in the USA) were also developed for both 5 th -and 7 th -grade students 8,21 . In addition, four more versions were created for 7 th -grade students: a version to be applied in rural areas 22 ; a version for American indigenous peoples (Living in 2 Worlds) 23 ; a version culturally adapted for Mexicans (Mantente Real Mexico) [24][25][26][27] , and another version culturally adapted for the Spanish people (Mantente Real España). There is also Mantente Real version that was only translated into the Spanish language and not adapted, which was applied to 6 th -grade students in Guatemala 28 .…”

The Drug Resistance Educational Program (PROERD) is Brazil’s most widespread school-based prevention program; its current curriculum is based on the North American Keepin’ it REAL (kiR) program. There is no evidence of the effectiveness of PROERD in preventing drug use, pointing to the need for further studies to understand these findings. The aim of the study was to synthesis the evidence of the effect of the kiR curriculum (PROERD) through a systematic review. We found 17 studies that reported the effects of different versions of kiR on drug use and/or violence. Except for the Brazilian study, no studies were found that assessed the effect on drug use of the version applied by police officers (DARE-kiR), the same one implemented by PROERD. Favorable evidence of kiR in drug use prevention was found for the 7th-grade curriculum, which contradicts the PROERD’s null-effect results. No international evidence of the effect of kiR was found in the 5th-grade curriculum, in the same line as the PROERD’s study. It is suggested that PROERD’s 7th-grade curriculum should be revised to reflect international results and that the 5th-grade curriculum should be reconsidered in light of the negative international evidence.

We conducted a pilot feasibility study to examine the efficacy of a culturally adapted Group Motivational Interviewing for Teens–alternative tobacco product (GMIT‐ATP) intervention among Latinx/e youth and whether, including caregivers, improved outcomes (GMIT‐ATP+P). Adolescents (ages 10–16) and their caregivers were randomized to two groups after completing baseline assessments: (1) GMIT‐ATP (N = 23) and (2) GMIT‐ATP+P (N = 32). Youth in both conditions attended three youth‐only sessions, and parents in the GMIT‐ATP+P condition attended three parent‐only sessions. Parents and youth completed measures before randomization, immediately after the intervention, and 3‐month post‐intervention. No significant differences were found when comparing conditions. However, adolescents’ reports of knowledge of the health effects of tobacco and ATP products increased from pre‐ to post‐intervention and remained stable at the 3‐month follow‐up. Culturally enhancing preventive interventions have positive effects within the Latinx/e community, and there is potential for long‐term sustainability.
