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 our evidence-based SPORT Alcohol/Drug PPW program are encouraged to contact us. 

Selected partners will receive free program manuals and materials and online training for program implementers.    

SPORT PPW programs consist of a single 45-minute motivational lesson presented to youth individually or in groups aimed at preventing youth substance use/misuse while promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors associated with mental and physical wellbeing.

The evaluation design for pilot study must include:

  1. A minimum of 400 adolescents (either high school or middle school aged youth) 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 3 months follow-up 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 same aged youth who will receive a pretest, an online health guide, and a 3-month follow-up posttest. 

Email us your proposed pilot study design, including describing your: a) pilot study participants age and sample size, and b) setting.
