Some of the following hyperlinks are to sites of organizations or other entities that are not subject to the Next link will take you to another Web site Official Languages Act. The material found there is therefore in the language(s) used by the sites in question.

Section 6 - Appendix

This section contains several additional resources:

  • Prevention principles checklist: a summary of questions drawn from Section 3. The checklist is intended to be used as a tool for briefly assessing a program;
  • Study quality and outcomes rating form: the form that was used by raters of the published articles found in Section 4;
  • Authoritative reviews of youth substance use problem prevention effectiveness: reviews referred to in the development of the compendium;
  • Articles associated with published programs: articles by which published programs were rated;
  • Index of programs: a listing of programs described in the compendium and where to find them.

Prevention Principles Checklist

1. Address protective and risk factors and promote resiliency

What risk factors does our program address (individual, family, school and/or community)?

Do we give more emphasis to promoting protective factors (or resiliency) than reducing risk factors?

Have we worked with other agencies to address shared protective or risk factors?

Have we considered the impact of the broad determinants of health (e.g., income and educational levels, social supports, early childhood experiences) in our community?

2. Seek Comprehensiveness

Do we involve other sectors (e.g., parents/families, schools, agencies) in our program?

Are we working with all relevant agencies and stakeholders, including reaching out to new groups (for example, those who interact with high-risk youth?)

Does our organization support its staff in working with other agencies? Are we advocating for a comprehensive approach and comprehensive policies from local school boards, health boards, addiction agencies and others?

Do government regulations and their enforcement provide adequate support for our aims?

Is preventative attention being given to all ages of children and youth in the community?

Is there a good mix of programming for youth at various levels of risk in our community?

3. Ensure Program Duration and Intensity

Have we clearly identified our target group?

Is the length and intensity of the program appropriate for our target group and sufficient for our intended outcomes?

When selecting at-risk youth for programming, do we have a reasonable basis for selection (e.g., poor academic performance, alcohol dependent parent)?

When selecting at-risk youth, how do we avoid labelling and stigmatization?

When targeting an Indicated population, do we have effective ways to identify and recruit participants (e.g., conduct problem at school as identified by guidance counsellor)?

When working with high-risk youth, in what way do we seek to address their multiple needs?

4. Base Program on Accurate Information

Have we assessed local needs, issues and concerns with respect to substance use?

Are there specific substances or substance use patterns that we need to address through our program?

How much do we know about the extent of occasional, regular and heavy use (and age, gender differences) among our participants or group we wish to engage?

Do we have more than one source of information on usage patterns?

5. Set Clear and Realistic Goals

Do we have an overall plan or strategy for achieving our program goals?

Are our program goals appropriate in light of age and use patterns of youth we wish to engage?

Are our goals and objectives linked logically and are they measurable and time-limited?

Do our program activities link logically to our objectives?

6. Monitor and Evaluate the Program

Do we devote a set percentage of our budget for evaluation?

In what way(s) do we evaluate our program?

What can we say about our program's impact? Does it achieve what is expected?

Have we monitored the process (activities, number of participants, timelines, community support, etc.) throughout?

Have we sought participant and stakeholder feedback and revised our program based on that feedback?

What can we say about our program's costs (direct and indirect) to our agency, our participants and partners?

7. Address Sustainability from the Beginning

If sponsored, how fully have we integrated our program into our sponsoring organization in terms of its policies, staffing, core budget, training, and other forms of support?

To what extent do we rely on short-term funding?

Do we have strategies planned for longer-term funding such as fund-raising, foundation grants, and registration fees from participants?

Do we have the appropriate stakeholders and partners involved and do they have a long-term commitment to the program?

How much do we contribute to sensitizing the public to substance use issues in our community?

8. Account for the Implications of Adolescent Psychosocial Development

Does our programming approach match the stage of development of participants?

Does our program reflect an understanding of the vulnerability associated with the early adolescents phase of development (e.g., impulsive, reckless behaviour)?

Does our program take general adolescent psychosocial needs into account, such as: the need to be independent, consider values distinct from parents and authorities, take risks, join a peer group, form lasting relationships with others?

If working with higher risk youth, do we support their development of a healthy self-identity with achievable tasks and realistic goals?

9. Recognize Youth Perceptions of Substance Use

Does our program acknowledge both the perceived benefits of using substances and the perceived benefits of not using in a balanced, unbiased manner?

Do we provide tools for youth to weigh the costs and benefits themselves and make appropriate decisions?

Do we address perceptions that some youth hold about drugs?

Do we understand why our participants or youth of interest might use substances?

Does our program give more attention to immediate social consequences (vs. long term) health risks and consequences?

10. Involve Youth in Program Design and Implementation

Do we give adequate effort to maintaining the trust and respect of our participants?

To what extent are young people involved in designing, implementing and evaluating the program? Is it more than "tokenism"?

Do we provide our youth with appropriate support, such as payment or some other form of compensation for their involvement, transportation, accessible hours, and back-up support?

Do we ensure that youth members are representative of the population we want to serve?

Do we plan for turnover of our youth and have successors in place?

11. Develop Credible Messages

Have we involved youth in the development of messages?

Do our messages match our overall goals for the program (e.g., harm reduction messages such as avoiding drinking and driving, chugging, unplanned sex)?

Do we avoid scare tactics and misleading information?

Do we avoid simplistic messages such as "just say no" or "play sports"?

What are the unspoken implied messages (e.g., participants are worthy of respect)?

What are the unspoken implied messages (e.g., participants are worthy of respect)?

To what extent have we connected messages to issues or attributes that are important

12. Combine Knowledge, and Skills Development

Does our program present practical information about alcohol and other drugs in a factual and balanced way?

Does our program teach general life skills (e.g., coping skills, conflict resolution, problem-solving, decision-making, communications skills)?

Does our program allow youth to role-play or rehearse strategies to avoid or manage higher risk situations?

Does our program address influences of drug use, including societal and media influences?

Does our program address participant self-confidence, where to find help, overcoming barriers to getting help, and providing help to others?

Does our program address other concerns of youth (e.g., failing grades, poor peer relationships), recognizing the link between those concerns and drug use?

13. Use Interactive Group Process

Does our program use activity-based learning strategies rather than didactic methods?

Does our program help participants to reflect on what they are learning (journal writing, small group discussions, encouraging conversation with close friends) and to set goals for changes in their lives?

Do we use peers in program delivery in a meaningful way?

14. Give Attention to Teacher or Leader Qualities and Training

Do the participants consider our leaders credible?

Are our program leaders/teachers comfortable with a facilitative role within an interactive approach?

Do our program leaders convey empathy and encourage youth involvement?

Do we provide training and support for leaders/teachers?

Are participants given a chance to evaluate program leaders?
