Welcome to Opioid & Stimulant Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW)! Opioid & Stimulant PPW is a quick and easy to use positive youth development program for prevention and health professionals who want to prevent opioid and stimulant misuse and promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and positive identities among young adults.
Opioid & Stimulant PPW is an adaptation of the evidence-based InShape Prevention Plus Wellness program which is listed on the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development and other evidence-based program registries. In addition, Opioid & Stimulant PPW utilizes an evidence-based practices screening and brief intervention format recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Opioid & Stimulant PPW is the only single-session opioid and stimulant misuse prevention program designed to increase wellness-enhancing behaviors including physical activity, healthy eating, getting adequate sleep, and practicing stress control. It can be implemented in any setting including college, community, health care, sports, recreation, at home and others.
Opioid & Stimulant PPW is founded on the Behavior-Image Model, a wellness-based framework that targets naturally motivating peer and desired future images to increase motivation for change and multiple health behavior goal setting which in turn increases self-regulation skills and self-efficacy of participants.
Opioid & Stimulant PPW is highly flexible and can be used as a stand-alone intervention, or as an add-on component to other prevention, health, sports, fitness, recreation, education, intervention, or treatment programs. While it was created as a universal prevention intervention, organizations can use it as a selective and indicated prevention program for high-risk populations.
The Opioid & Stimulant PPW program comes with a manual and a digital download of all reproducible materials needed to implement your program to countless participants. The Opioid & Stimulant PPW program includes:
1. Step-by-step implementation directions;
2. A brief self-administered wellness behavior screening survey;
3. Two script protocols for easy presentation of either a group or individual lesson that presents positive image content linking healthy and substance use behaviors;

6. A goal plan/contract for motivating and initiating multiple behavior change;
7. A 7-Day Calendar Log;
8. Paper or online pretest and posttest surveys to evaluate immediate or one-month follow-up program effectiveness;

12. Phone and email program support; and
13. Separate online or onsite certified training workshops to learn how to provide the Opioid & Stimulant PPW program, or train others to implement it, with fidelity and maximum effectiveness.
