N2  - OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of the STARS for Families program, 2-year stage-based intervention using nurse consultations and parent prevention materials. METHODS: Subjects consisted of 650 sixth-grade students from one neighborhood (n=262_ and one magnet (bused) urban school (n=388). RESULTS: At posttest, significantly fewer intervention magnet-school students initiated alcohol use, drank heavily during the past 30 days, and drank over any period of time, compared to minimal intervention control students (p's <.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that a brief preventive intervention may be a feasible alternative to more extensive curriculum-based prevention programs for selected school children.
