This article reports on the evaluation of a two-year alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) intervention, the Prevention through Alternative Learning Styles (PALS) program, targeting both teachers and middle-school students. Teachers are taught to recognize students' unique learning styles in the context of the ATOD curriculum and adapt the ATOD messages to these learning styles. The student curriculum consists of 5 topic areas with two lessons per topic area. Student goals include enhancing students' knowledge of the effects of ATOD, promoting students' use of refusal skills and decreasing students' intentions to use ATOD. The program was implemented in school dis-tricts in the greater Dayton Ohio area. Support was found for the intervention's overall effectiveness in both years, with statistically significant improvements demonstrated by the students who participated in the PALS program. Students had an increase in their knowledge of ATOD topic areas and a decrease in their intentions to use ATOD.
本文报道了一项为期两年的酒精、烟草及其他毒品（ATOD）干预措施——通过替代学习方式预防（PALS）项目的评估情况，该项目针对教师和中学生。教师们学习如何在ATOD课程背景下识别学生独特的学习方式，并使ATOD信息适应这些学习方式。学生课程包括5个主题领域，每个主题领域有两节课。学生的目标包括增强学生对ATOD影响的认识、促进学生使用拒绝技巧以及降低学生使用ATOD的意愿。该项目在俄亥俄州代顿市周边地区的学区实施。在这两年中均发现该干预措施具有总体有效性，参与PALS项目的学生在统计学上有显著改善。学生对ATOD主题领域的知识有所增加，使用ATOD的意愿有所降低。
