Abstract
The programs were selected for excellence overall or in particular areas. All of them: 1) include a clear no-use message regarding ATOD and youth; 2) have been operating for at least 1 year; 3) draw upon relevant, current ATOD research; 4) develop a scope and sequence appropriate for participants; 5) establish and substantially achieve specific, measurable objectives; 6) employ qualified personnel; 7) are replicable; and 8) where applicable, facilitate basic academic skills, and address the needs of high-risk and minority youths. Summaries include the programs' various approaches; target population; features; number of youths served; budget; and contact names, addresses, and phone numbers.
