Prevention Program Pilot Study Partnership Opportunity

Prevention and health organizations interested in partnering with Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) 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 studies must include:

  1. A minimum of 200 adolescents from one or more schools, school districts, sports programs, clinics, wellness centers, YMCAs, etc.
  2. Administration of an online pretest to all participants immediately prior to implementing the PPW program and a posttest three months after program implementation. 
  3. Completion of a brief online instructor survey by all program implementers immediately after each program presentation. 
  4. Regular email communication with a designated lead staff member to set up and track the achievement of program implementation and survey administration milestones with PPW.

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

Participating organizations will be asked to sign a partnership agreement.
