The aim of the study was to address the lack of evaluations of school-based substance use prevention programs and to conduct a quasi-experimental evaluation of the alcohol use part of the Triad intervention.
Eleven Swedish intervention schools (285 pupils) and three control schools (159 pupils) participated in the evaluation. Baseline measurements were conducted in 2011 before the alcohol part in the prevention program was implemented in the intervention schools (school year 6, ages 12-13). We estimated an Intention-To-Treat (ITT) Difference-in-Difference (DD) model to analyze the effectiveness of the intervention on subsequent alcohol use measured in grades 7, 8 and 9.
The main results show no effect on the likelihood of drinking alcohol or drinking to intoxication.
The lack of positive effects highlights the need for policy-makers and public health officials need to carefully consider and evaluate prevention programs in order to ensure that they are worthwhile from school, health, and societal perspectives.
本研究的目的是解决对校内物质使用预防项目缺乏评估的问题，并对三元干预措施中酒精使用部分进行准实验评估。
11所瑞典干预学校（285名学生）和3所对照学校（159名学生）参与了评估。在干预学校实施预防项目中的酒精部分之前（6年级，12 - 13岁），于2011年进行了基线测量。我们估计了一个意向性分析（ITT）差异中的差异（DD）模型，以分析干预措施对7、8和9年级后续酒精使用情况的有效性。
主要结果表明，对饮酒或醉酒的可能性没有影响。
缺乏积极效果凸显了政策制定者和公共卫生官员需要仔细考虑和评估预防项目，以确保从学校、健康和社会角度来看它们是值得的。
