abstract="Note: This publication examined the effects of participation in the Improving Social Awareness-Social Problem Solving (ISA-SPS) Project in grades 4 and 5 with self-destructive behavior (antisocial behavior and alcohol and tobacco use) in high school. Involvement in the ISA-SPS Project seemed to strengthen social competence and prosocial behavior.The ISA-SPS is a school-based problem solving and social skills development/prevention program for at risk elementary and middle school students. The ISA-SPS is now known as the Social Decision Making and Problem Solving Program (SDM/PS).For more information on the Social Decision Making and Problem Solving Program (SDM/PS), see VioPro record number 4072.Population Age/Grade Level: Child, Adolescent, Grades 4-5, Grades 9-11Population Race/Ethnicity: AllPopulation Gender: Male, FemalePopulation Location: USAContent: Empirical Research, Longitudinal ResearchJuvenile DevelopmentChild DevelopmentYouth DevelopmentLate AdolescenceLate ChildhoodSocial Skills DevelopmentProblem Solving SkillsDecision Making SkillsProsocial SkillsAt Risk JuvenileAt Risk ChildAt Risk YouthSenior High School StudentElementary School StudentJuvenile Substance UseSubstance Use PreventionBehavior PreventionTobacco Use PreventionAlcohol Use PreventionJuvenile Antisocial BehaviorPrevention ProgramProgram EffectivenessLongitudinal StudiesSocial Competence09-00<p />",
