Hawkins, J. D., Oesterle, S., Brown, E. C., Arthur, M. W., Abbott, R. D., Fagan, A. A., et al. (2009). Results of a type 2 translational research trial to prevent adolescent drug use and delinquency : a test of Communities That Care. Archives of pediatrics and adolescent medicine, 163(9; 09/2009), 789–798.
Abstract: Objective To test whether the Communities That Care (CTC) prevention system reduces adolescent alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and delinquent behavior communitywide. Design The Community Youth Development Study is the first randomized trial of CTC. Setting In 2003, 24 small towns in 7 states, matched within state, were randomly assigned to control or CTC conditions. Participants A panel of 4407 fifth-grade students was surveyed annually through eighth grade. Intervention A coalition of community stakeholders received training and technical assistance to install the CTC prevention system. They used epidemiological data to identify elevated risk factors and depressed protective factors in the community, and chose and implemented tested programs to address their community’s specific profile from a menu of effective programs for families, schools, and youths aged 10 to 14 years. Main Outcome Measures Incidence and prevalence of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and delinquent behavior by spring of grade 8. Results The incidences of alcohol, cigarette and smokeless tobacco initiation, and delinquent behavior were significantly lower in CTC than in control communities for students in grades 5 through 8. In grade 8, the prevalences of alcohol and smokeless tobacco use in the last 30 days, binge drinking in the last 2 weeks, and the number of different delinquent behaviors committed in the last year were significantly lower for students in CTC communities. Conclusion Using the CTC system to reduce health-risking behaviors in adolescents can significantly reduce these behaviors communitywide.

Abstract: The second edition of this well known work appeared in 1889, and in the interval between the appearance of these editions public opinion has come to concede the strength of the position assumed by the author in the first edition, “that inebriety is a disease, as curable as most other diseases, calling for medical, mental and moral treatment.”

Linas, B. P., Coffin, P. O., Backes, G., & Vlahov, D. (2000). New York State pharmacist's attitudes toward needle and syringe sales to injection drug users before implementation of syringe deregulation. Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 77(4; 12/2000), 768–780.
Abstract: In May 2000, New York State passed legislation permitting the sale, purchase, and possession of up to 10 needles and syringes without a prescription. The law is intended to reduce the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis among injection drug users (IDUs), their sexual partners, and their children. To obtain baseline information about the attitudes and likely practices of New York State pharmacists, we distributed a self-administered questionnaire to attendees of the state pharmacy association meeting in June 2000. Of 48 usable responses, 19% were from New York City and the rest from New York State. Of the 48, 42% were unaware of the new law before the day of the survey, and 60% were somewhat or very willing to sell needles and syringes to an IDU. Of those who were not willing to sell to an IDU, 82% cited familiarity of the customer as a very important consideration in their decision making. Those who were not willing to sell to an IDU were more concerned about the detrimental impact of syringe sales on the community, were less likely to be aware of the new law, and were more likely to be concerned about legal liability for syringe sales. Over 80% of all pharmacists believed that syringe sales to IDUs are an important preventive health measure. The majority also favored learning more about the law. Compared to other state surveys of pharmacists, these preliminary data show a similar level of interest in becoming involved with syringe availability programs.

Hüsler, G., Werlen, E., & Rehm, J. (2005). The Action Plan : a new instrument to collect data on interventions in secondary prevention in adolescents. Substance use and misuse, 40(6), 761–777.
Abstract: It is difficult to draw causal conclusions about the effectiveness of secondary prevention programs for adolescents at risk, when the programs use a variety of different interventions. The Action Plan is an instrument that is designed to make collection of such data possible. This allows calculating different kinds of intervention patterns for each participant and program, which, in combination with outcome measures, gives an estimate of successful vs. less successful interventions. The study compared intervention patterns from 12 different sites in a national intervention program in Switzerland. The program, called supra-f (www.supra-f.ch), started in 1999 and will end in 2005. Results are presented from the ongoing study with approximately 600 adolescents. We calculated effect sizes (ES) to compare interventions with outcome measures. Effect sizes (ES) are presented on well being, coping, self-esteem, delinquency, and substance use (cigarettes, alcohol, cannabis) in relation to intervention packages, risk groups (low, moderate, high), and age (two groups: 11-15 and 16-20 years of age) using data collected from 1999-2002.
