Abstract

In this prevention-early intervention project, for inner-city, low SES, court-adjudicated male adolescents, conducted in a residential treatment center, new admissions were randomly assigned to either a program participant group (in a triple-modality social learning program in the classroom), or to a control group. RESULTS: The follow-up assessment (N = 251), at six months after discharge to home and community, showed that the program group reported a significantly greater degree of reduction in drug use/abuse, and in the selling of drugs, but not in alcohol use, or in illegal violent behavior, or in school problems. By means of dosage and process analyses, it was determined that (1) it was the Botvin LST program that was effective in reducing substance use/abuse and the selling of drugs; and (2) that those participants who participated more positively in the Prothrow-Stith Anti-Violence program reduced their violent behavior at follow-up to a significantly greater degree.
