The effects of All Stars, a character education and problem behavior prevention program, on variables theorized to mediate problem behaviors and on the problem behavior variables of substance use, sexual behavior, and violence among middle school students are reported. In an independent, randomized, single-cohort, longitudinal evaluation of the program, 1,655 students completed pretest, posttest, and 1-year follow-up surveys measuring demographics, mediating variables, and behavioral outcome variables. Results indicate that the All Stars program, when administered by teachers, had an immediate effect on mediating variables that did not persist over time. Inclusion of ethnicity in the design showed that the program, when administered by specialists, had delayed effects on mediating variables for African American and Hispanic students. However, no consistent effects were found for student problem behaviors in either condition. Implications for prevention practice and directions for future research are discussed.
报告了“全明星计划”（一项品格教育和问题行为预防计划）对理论上介导问题行为的变量以及对中学生药物使用、性行为和暴力等问题行为变量的影响。在对该计划进行的独立、随机、单队列纵向评估中，1655名学生完成了测量人口统计学、介导变量和行为结果变量的预测试、后测试及1年随访调查。结果表明，由教师实施的“全明星计划”对介导变量有即时影响，但这种影响未随时间持续。在设计中纳入种族因素表明，由专家实施该计划时，对非裔美国学生和西班牙裔学生的介导变量有延迟影响。然而，在两种情况下均未发现该计划对学生问题行为有一致的影响。文中讨论了对预防实践的启示以及未来研究的方向。
