This pilot study concerns developing and implementing a community-acceptable community prevention model for rural Alaska that focuses on inhalants and other harmful legal products. Youth in grades 5-7 from four communities, along with their families, schools, and local retailers, participated in this intervention-only study.
This study involved adaptation of an evidence-based drug prevention program to be implemented in frontier Alaska elementary schools, and then conducting a pilot test to assess its implementation quality, factors that may be associated with implementation quality, program effects, and factors that might explain any program effects.
