Prevention and health organizations and coalitions interested in partnering with Prevention Plus Wellness to conduct a pilot study evaluating the substance use and healthy behavior outcomes of a PPW program are encouraged to contact us. 

Selected partners will receive a free Unlimited PPW Program & Training license for one year and a discounted second year license upon successful study completion.  

PPW programs are brief youth substance use/misuse prevention interventions designed to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors associated with mental and physical wellbeing.

We are particularly interested in organizations that can commit to implementing and evaluating a single 45-minute PPW program to adolescents in groups (e.g., classrooms).

The evaluation design for pilot study must include:

  1. A minimum of 200 adolescents from one or more schools, school districts, sports programs, clinics, wellness centers, etc.

  2. Administration of an online pretest to all participants immediately prior to implementing the PPW program and a posttest 1-3 months after program implementation. 

  3. Completion of a brief online instructor survey by all program implementers immediately after each program presentation. 

  4. A comparison group of youth who will receive a pretest, health fact sheet, and posttest. 

One-session programs available for pilot study include:

  1. SPORT (Alcohol/Drug) PPW

  2. SPORT Alcohol & Cannabis PPW

  3. Marijuana PPW

  4. Opioid PPW

  5. Vaping (E-Cigarette) PPW
