         SPORT 3 Alcohol, Marijuana & E-Cigarette Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) is a 3-session easy to use positive youth development program for prevention and health professionals who want to prevent substance use and promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and positive identities among youth.  

          All three SPORT Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) classroom program lessons are in one manual! Use as separate lessons or as a three-week program addressing alcohol, marijuana and e-cigarette prevention while promoting wellness.

SPORT 3 PPW is an adaptation of the evidence-based SPORT PPW program which has undergone rigorous research evaluating its effectiveness for preventing youth substance use and increasing healthy habits.  In addition, SPORT 3 PPW utilizes an evidence-based practices screening and brief intervention format recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). 

SPORT 3 PPW is the only 3-session prevention program designed to prevent the top three most commonly used youth substances while increasing health-enhancing behaviors including physical activity and sports, healthy eating, getting adequate sleep, and practicing stress control.  It can be implemented in any setting including school, community, health care, sports, recreation, juvenile justice, and at home. 

SPORT 3 PPW is founded on the Behavior-Image Model (BIM), a wellness-based framework that targets naturally motivating positive peer and desired future images to increase motivation for change and multiple health behavior goal setting to increase self-regulation skills and self-efficacy of participants.  

SPORT 3 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 across the US and abroad use it as a selective and indicated prevention intervention for high-risk populations.

1.   Step-by-step implementation directions;
