Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop, test, and use an instrument to measure the effectiveness of a community-based, mandated drug education intervention program, Youthful Offenders Program (YOP), targeting college students at risk. A total of N = 350 students voluntarily agreed to participate in an evaluation of program effectiveness using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and a newly developed measure to compare changes in substance related behaviors over time. Results revealed sound psychometric structure for the new scale for use in program evaluation; results suggest that YOP significantly enhanced safety practices and reduced hazardous drinking and recidivism, but not avoidance of risky behaviors.

以被判大学生为对象的社区减害干预评估。

本研究的目的是开发、测试和使用一种工具来衡量以社区为基础的强制性毒品教育干预计划-青少年罪犯计划(YOP)的有效性，该计划针对有风险的大学生。共有N = 350名学生自愿同意参加使用酒精使用障碍识别测试(AUDIT)和一种新开发的方法来比较物质相关行为随时间的变化的项目有效性评估。结果表明，新量表具有较好的心理测量结构，可用于项目评价;结果表明，YOP显著提高了安全实践，减少了危险饮酒和累犯，但没有避免危险行为。
