Question

In evaluating school-based prevention programs, it is important to remember that:

Select one:
a. prevention programs must receive adequate funding if we expect these programs to produce the desired effects
b. it is virtually impossible to conduct valid research in schools
c. it is unrealistic to expect prevention programs to singularly impact the initiation of AOD use
d. virtually every approach has proven to be ineffective

Answer 1

The correct answer should be a. prevention programs must receive adequate funding if we expect these programs to produce the desired effects

Prevention of anything is a serious feat but can be conducted with enough resources. Not all were proven to be ineffective and it's not unrealistic to expect them to succeed. Schools can be good places for research because of the vast access to raw data.
