A unique Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD) prevention program called PALS (Prevention through Alternative Learning Styles) was implemented with middle school students with the goal of enhancing student knowledge of the harmful effects of ATOD, promoting the use of refusal skills and reducing intentions to use ATOD in the future. Intentions to use were measured at four points: pre-PALS, post-PALS, and at 1-year and 2-year follow-ups. Student survey responses were then matched and compared across the four time periods. This article reports on the long-term effectiveness of PALS on student intentions to use ATOD in high school. When follow-up surveys of PALS students were compared to students not exposed to PALS (comparison group), the PALS students had significantly lower intentions to use alcohol and tobacco, providing evidence that the PALS intervention did have a long-term impact on intentions to use these substances.
一项名为PALS（通过替代学习方式预防）的独特的酒精、烟草及其他毒品（ATOD）预防项目在中学生中实施，其目标是增强学生对ATOD有害影响的认识，促进拒绝技巧的运用，并减少未来使用ATOD的意愿。使用意愿在四个时间点进行测量：PALS项目实施前、实施后，以及1年和2年随访时。然后对四个时间段的学生调查回复进行匹配和比较。本文报告了PALS项目对学生高中阶段使用ATOD意愿的长期有效性。当将参与PALS项目的学生的随访调查结果与未参与PALS项目的学生（对照组）进行比较时，参与PALS项目的学生使用酒精和烟草的意愿显著较低，这证明PALS干预对使用这些物质的意愿确实产生了长期影响。
