Active Involvement in Creating High School Substance Use Prevention Messages
Adolescent substance abuse remains a significant public health concern and media literacy-based interventions appear to be a promising approach to addressing this problem that deserves to be evaluated rigorously. This study provides a feasibility test of a media literacy intervention and a preliminary look at how it functions, with what effects, and how it may be implemented on a broader scale. The long-term objective of this project is to develop a component of an effective brief school-based prevention program to reduce adolescent substance use for testing in a randomized clinical trial.
