Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention Study (ASAPS), 2001-2006 [Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis]

The Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention Study (ASAPS) was a randomized field trial designed to test the effectiveness of a new school-based substance abuse prevention program called Take Charge of Your Life (TCYL). The program consisted of two curricula, one for middle schools and the other for high schools, which were delivered through the Drug Abuse Resistance Education network of law enforcement officers (D.A.R.E.). TCYL was developed building on existing D.A.R.E. seventh/eighth grade and tenth/eleventh grade curricula and applied principles and strategies suggested by published literature on effective drug abuse prevention programming and effective middle and high school curricula design. ASAPS was conducted among a 2001-2002 multi-site cohort of seventh graders who were followed for five years until the 2005-2006 school year when they were in the eleventh grade. The first TCYL curriculum was delivered in the treatment schools when the students were in seventh grade and the second was delivered when they were in the ninth grade. Over the five-year study period, the treatment and control students responded to seven self-administered surveys: (1) at baseline in the seventh grade, (2) post-intervention in the seventh grade, (3) in the eighth grade, (4) pre-intervention in the ninth grade, (5) post-intervention in the ninth grade, (6) in the tenth grade, and (7) in the eleventh grade. Topics covered by the surveys include normative beliefs, social skills, attitudes toward drug use, and self-reported use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other illicit drugs. The ASAPS data also include measures of implementation fidelity of the seventh and ninth grade TCYL curricula, which were obtained from trained observers who rated the D.A.R.E. officers' delivery in the classroom. The fidelity measures encompass content coverage and instructional strategy. This data collection comprises two data files, both with public- and restricted-use versions. The first (the Main Data File) contains the students' survey responses and the seventh grade curriculum fidelity measures, while the second (the 9th Grade Officer Observations Data) contains the ninth grade curriculum fidelity measures.

《青少年药物滥用预防研究》（ASAPS）是一项随机实地试验，旨在检验一种名为“掌握你的人生”（TCYL）的新型基于学校的药物滥用预防计划的有效性。该计划包含两套课程，一套针对中学，另一套针对高中，通过执法官员的药物滥用抵抗教育网络（D.A.R.E.）进行传授。TCYL是在现有D.A.R.E.七/八年级和十/十一年级课程的基础上发展而来，并借鉴了关于有效药物滥用预防项目和有效中小学课程设计的出版文献中提出的原理和策略。ASAPS在2001-2002年间进行的跨地区七年级学生队列中进行，持续五年，直至2005-2006学年的十一年级。第一套TCYL课程在学生七年级时在治疗学校实施，第二套课程则在他们九年级时实施。在五年的研究期间，治疗组和对照组的学生完成了七次自我管理的调查：（1）在七年级的基线，（2）七年级干预后的调查，（3）八年级的调查，（4）九年级干预前的调查，（5）九年级干预后的调查，（6）十年级的调查，以及（7）十一年级的调查。调查涵盖的主题包括规范信念、社交技能、对药物使用的态度，以及自我报告的酒精、烟草、大麻和其他非法药物的摄入情况。ASAPS数据还包括第七和九年级TCYL课程实施忠诚度的衡量指标，这些指标由经过培训的观察者根据D.A.R.E.官员在课堂上的传授情况进行评分。忠诚度衡量指标包括内容覆盖和教学策略。该数据收集包含两个数据文件，均为公开和限制使用版本。第一个（主要数据文件）包含学生的调查回应和第七年级课程忠诚度衡量指标，而第二个（九年级官员观察数据）则包含九年级课程忠诚度衡量指标。
