This study developed and tested a gender-specific intervention for preventing substance abuse among adolescent girls. Delivered on CD-ROM by computer, the program was compared with a conventional substance abuse prevention program delivered live in a group setting. Seventh-grade girls in New York City middle schools completed pretests, and, by school, were randomly assigned to receive either gender-specific computer intervention (GSI) or conventional intervention, and were posttested. Analyses of pretest to posttest gain scores showed GSI girls compared to girls receiving conventional intervention to possess a larger repertoire of stress-reduction methods, to report lower approval of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs, to identify more unhealthy ways to deal with stress, to report lower likelihood of cigarette use or alcohol consumption if asked to do so by best friends, and to hold stronger plans to avoid cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs in the next year. These modest findings lend credence to the promise of gender-specific, computerized interventions for substance abuse prevention among adolescent girls.
本研究开发并测试了一种针对预防青春期女孩药物滥用的性别特定干预措施。该项目通过计算机以光盘形式提供，并与在小组环境中现场授课的传统药物滥用预防项目进行了比较。纽约市中学的七年级女生完成了预测试，然后按学校随机分配，分别接受性别特定的计算机干预（GSI）或传统干预，并进行了后测试。对预测试到后测试得分增益的分析表明，与接受传统干预的女孩相比，接受GSI的女孩拥有更多的减压方法，对香烟、酒精和毒品的认可程度更低，能识别出更多不健康的应对压力的方式，报告称如果最好的朋友要求，吸烟或饮酒的可能性更低，并且在未来一年有更强的避免吸烟、饮酒和吸毒的计划。这些适度的研究结果为针对青春期女孩药物滥用预防的性别特定计算机化干预措施的前景提供了可信度。
