InShape Prevention Plus Wellness
InShape Prevention Plus Wellness is the nation’s only easy to use, single-session substance use prevention program designed to increase fitness, health and performance-enhancing behaviors like physical activity, exercise, healthy eating, getting adequate sleep, and practicing stress control while avoiding harmful substance use for young adults.
InShape PPW was evaluated with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and is listed as an evidence-based program on the federal government’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
InShape PPW targets naturally motivating positive images to increase personal goal setting to improve multiple wellness habits and positive self-identity. InShape PPW is highly flexible and can be used as a stand-alone program, or as an add-on component to other prevention, health, fitness, recreation, sports, education or intervention programs. It can also be repeated over time, providing a sustained intervention.
The InShape PPW Program was designed to help young adults look and feel more active, fit and healthy by having them:
- Identify wellness enhancing behaviors, along with drug use habits that interfere with reaching wellness behavior goals and positive self-images;
- Become aware of positive images of young adults engaged in wellness promoting behaviors, and desired images of themselves in the future; and
- Make a commitment to set and monitor multiple goals to increase wellness promoting behaviors, while avoiding wellness harming substance use.
