“…Findings from the current study suggest that trait disinhibition should be considered when developing alcohol-use prevention and intervention programs for students with ADHD. A novel alcohol prevention program targeting the personality traits associated with substance misuse has demonstrated success among high school students (O'Leary et al, 2010;Sloboda et al, 2009). A similar program tailored to college students with ADHD whose personality profile is elevated in the domain of disinhibition or impulsivity may be beneficial for this population.…”

“…Moreover, four studies were based on community-based intervention Edelen, Slaughter, McCaffrey, Becker, & Morral, 2010;Jones & Rossiter, 2009;Tebes et al, 2007). There were six studies that focused on schoolbased intervention (Anderson & Moore, 2009;LaBrie et al, 2009;Newton, Andrews, Teesson, & Vogl, 2009;Perry, Stigler, Arora, & Reddy, 2009;Sloboda et al, 2009;Sun, Sussman, Dent, & Rohrbach, 2008). The last category, combined interventions, covered interventions which were combined or which implemented one or more interventions at a time.…”

The aim of this systematic review is to describe and evaluate the effects of interventions used for preventing or reducing substance use among adolescents under 18 years of age. Studies (N = 27) available in CINAHL and PubMed from 2007 to 2010 were included. Results showed that family-based interventions and combined interventions have significant outcomes for substance use among adolescents. Similarly, school-based interventions were effective in providing knowledge about substance use, which eventually reduced the substance use. Further research should be conducted in different cultures as well as on computer-based interventions targeting both genders.

“…There must be no significant differences between the two study groups at baseline (t1). The effects of predictors (like gender, culture and social characteristics) on the smoking behaviour after 6 months (t2) will be calculated by logistic regression analysis, a state-of-the-art technique for the evaluation of the effectiveness of prevention programmes21 24 25 in longitudinal studies. The significance level is 5% for t tests (double-sided) and 95% for CIs (double-sided).…”

Education Against Tobacco (EAT): a quasi-experimental prospective evaluation of a programme for preventing smoking in secondary schools delivered by medical students: a study protocol

et al. 2014

IntroductionA survey conducted by the German Federal Centre for Health Education in 2012 showed that 35.2% of all young adults (18–25 years) and 12.0% of all adolescents (12–17 years) in Germany are regular cigarette smokers. Most smoked their first cigarette in early adolescence. We recently reported a significantly positive short-term effect of a physician-delivered school-based smoking prevention programme on the smoking behaviour of schoolchildren in Germany. However, physician-based programmes are usually very expensive. Therefore, we will evaluate and optimise Education against Tobacco (EAT), a widespread, low-cost programme delivered by about 400 medical students from 16 universities in Germany.Methods and analysisA prospective quasi-experimental study design with two measurements at baseline (t1) and 6 months post-intervention (t2) to investigate an intervention in 10–15-year-olds in grades 6–8 at German secondary schools. The intervention programme consists of two 60-min school-based medical-student-delivered modules with (module 1) and without the involvement of patients with tobacco-related diseases and control groups (no intervention). The study questionnaire measuring smoking status (water pipe and cigarette smoking), smoking-related cognitions, and gender, social and cultural aspects was designed and pre-tested in advance. The primary end point is the prevalence of smokers and non-smokers in the two study arms at 6 months after the intervention. The percentage of former smokers and new smokers in the two groups and the measures of smoking behaviour will be studied as secondary outcome measures.Ethics and disseminationIn accordance with Good Epidemiologic Practice (GEP) guidelines, the study protocol was submitted for approval by the responsible ethics committee, which decided that the study does not need ethical approval (Goethe University, Frankfurt-Main, Germany). Findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, at conferences, within our scientific advisory board and through medical students within the EAT project.
