Universal Internet-based prevention for alcohol and cannabis use reduces truancy, psychological distress and moral disengagement: A cluster randomised controlled trial
2014, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :To reduce the occurrence and cost of such problems, prevention is essential and needs to be initiated early before harmful patterns of drug use are established and begin to cause disability (Botvin, 2000; Spooner and Hall, 2002; WHO, 2004). Numerous universal school-based programs have been developed to prevent and reduce the use of alcohol and drugs among young people (Cuijpers, 2002; Faggiano et al., 2005; Tobler et al., 2000); however, most have only shown limited effects (Babor et al., 2003; Ennett et al., 1994; Gorman, 1996; White and Pitts, 1998), and some have even reported detrimental outcomes (Werch et al., 2005). The most common factors which interfere with effectiveness are; the focus on abstinence‐based outcomes (Beck, 1998; Munro and Midford, 2001), and implementation failure (Bosworth, 2003; Botvin, 2004; Ennett et al., 2003).
Notes on a (sex crime) scandal: The impact of media coverage of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church on public opinion
2014, Journal of Criminal JusticeCitation Excerpt :A similar trend appears when the focus is on examining the impact of anti-drug/alcohol campaigns. For example, the absence of empirical support for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program and other interventions in reducing teen alcohol and drug use is well-documented (Ennett, Rosenbaum, Flewelling, Bieler, Ringwalt, & Bailey, 1994; West & O’Neal, 2004). In particular, Erceg-Hurn (2008) examined the empirical evidence for the Montana Meth Project (an anti-methamphetamine prevention campaign that used media to portray images of methamphetamine users) and reported that perceptions of dangerousness of meth decreased while views that using meth was acceptable increased.
