1 Geographic Locations Urban Suburban PALS: Prevention through Alternative Learning Styles PALS: Prevention through Alternative Learning Styles is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) prevention program primarily for middle school students. Goals of PALS include (1) lowering students' intentions to use ATOD, (2) increasing students' use of refusal skills, and (3) enhancing students' knowledge of the effects of ATOD, peer pressure and healthy decisionmaking, and different learning styles. PALS is implemented through the use of interactive group activities, scientific laboratory demonstrations, videos, games, creative writing and art projects, and small group discussions. The PALS curriculum contains 5 units, presented in 10 lessons: The first unit, Understanding Learning Styles and Differences, focuses on students' unique learning styles and raises awareness of disability issues and how they can be overcome. The next three units, Effects of Alcohol, Effects of Tobacco, and Effects of Other Drugs, describe the effects of ATOD on the brain and body, with the goal of preventing or delaying the onset of use. The fifth unit, Peer Pressure and Healthy Choices, describes the power of peer pressure, including the influence of media, and encourages the use of resistance strategies and healthy alternatives to ATOD use. Additional, optional lessons, which reinforce the curriculum, are available online through the program Web site's section for students. The site also includes a peer mentoring program section with interactive features (e.g., games, presentations) that provide information on curriculum topics. PALS can be implemented by PALS staff members or by teachers who receive the 1-day, on-site PALS training, which assists them in adapting classroom activities to meet the unique learning needs of all students, including those with disabilities.

2 Implementation History NIH Funding/CER Studies Adaptations Adverse Effects IOM Prevention Categories PALS was first developed in 1992 as a training model for teachers of both special and regular education and for rehabilitation professionals. As PALS continued to grow in scope, PALS staff developed activities that were effective with a variety of populations, including people with various disabilities, and developed a curriculum that teachers could implement with their students. To date, more than 5,000 students and rehabilitation participants have received PALS. Partially/fully funded by National Institutes of Health: No Evaluated in comparative effectiveness research studies: No A subset of the PALS materials has been translated into Czech. No adverse effects, concerns, or unintended consequences were identified by the developer. Universal Selective Quality of Research Review Date: April 2011 Documents Reviewed The documents below were reviewed for Quality of Research. The research point of contact can provide information regarding the studies reviewed and the availability of additional materials, including those from more recent studies that may have been conducted. Study 1 Huber, M. J., Workman, J., Ford, J. A., Moore, D., & Mayer, T. (2009). Evaluating the Prevention through Alternative Learning Styles program. Journal of Drug Education, 39(3), Outcomes Outcome 1: Intentions to use ATOD Intentions to use ATOD were assessed using the PALS Questionnaire, a self-report survey that was modeled after the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). Survey items were read out loud to students, who completed the survey before and after the intervention. The pretest survey contains 24 items (e.g., "After I turn 21, I will probably drink alcohol," "If friends offer to share alcohol with me, I will drink with them," "In high school, do you think you will use marijuana?"), and the posttest survey contains 26 items (the 24 pretest items and 2 additional items). Response options include multiple-choice, true-false, and yes-no formats. intervention group, which received PALS, or the control group, which received the school's health, keyboarding, and food). From pre- to posttest, the number of students in the intervention group responding "yes" or "maybe" to questions regarding their intentions to use alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs decreased, and the number of students responding "no" increased (p =.001 for all three substances); data from students in the control group were not analyzed. were offered PALS. From pre- to posttest, the number of students responding "yes" or "maybe" to questions regarding their intentions to use ATOD decreased, and the number of students responding "no" increased (p =.001 for alcohol and tobacco; p =.002 for other drugs). Outcome 2: Knowledge of ATOD Knowledge of ATOD was assessed using the PALS Questionnaire, a self-report survey that was modeled after the NHSDA. Survey items were read out loud to students, who completed the survey
3 before and after the intervention. The pretest survey contains 24 items (e.g., "One or two drinks of alcohol can make it hard to make good decisions," "If someone really wants to, it's pretty easy to quit smoking," "Can people become addicted to marijuana?"), and the posttest survey contains 26 items (the 24 pretest items and 2 additional items). Response options include multiple-choice, truefalse, and yes-no formats. intervention group, which received PALS, or the control group, which received the school's health, keyboarding, and food). At baseline, there were no significant differences between groups in regard to knowledge of ATOD. At posttest, compared with students in the control group, those in the intervention group had greater knowledge of alcohol (p <.001), tobacco (p <.001), and other drugs (p =.003). were offered PALS. From pre- to posttest, these students had an increase in their knowledge of alcohol (p <.001), tobacco (p <.001), and other drugs (p <.002). Outcome 3: Knowledge of peer pressure and healthy choices Knowledge of peer pressure and healthy choices was assessed using the PALS Questionnaire, a self -report survey that was modeled after the NHSDA. Survey items were read out loud to students, who completed the survey before and after the intervention. The pretest survey contains 24 items (e.g., "Advertisers on TV must tell everything about their products," "Some alcohol and tobacco advertisements are designed for children," "Which of the following is a healthy lifestyle choice?"), and the posttest survey contains 26 items (the 24 pretest items and 2 additional items). Response options include multiple-choice, true-false, and yes-no formats. intervention group, which received PALS, or the control group, which received the school's health, keyboarding, and food). At baseline, there were no significant differences between groups in regard to knowledge of peer pressure and healthy choices. At posttest, compared with students in the control group, those in the intervention group had greater knowledge of peer pressure and healthy choices (p <.002). were offered PALS. From pre- to posttest, these students had an increase in their knowledge of peer pressure and healthy choices (p <.001). Outcome 4: Knowledge of learning styles Knowledge of learning styles was assessed using the PALS Questionnaire, a self-report survey that was modeled after the NHSDA. Survey items were read out loud to students, who completed the survey before and after the intervention. The pretest survey contains 24 items (e.g., "People with disabilities can have successful jobs, relationships, and a happy life," "There is more than one type of intelligence," "Some disabilities are hidden"), and the posttest survey contains 26 items (the 24 pretest items and 2 additional items). Response options include multiple-choice, true-false, and yesno formats.

Study Populations The following populations were identified in the studies reviewed for Quality of Research. Study Age Gender Race/Ethnicity Study (Childhood) (Adolescent) 52% Male 48% Female 65% White 17% Black or African American 12% Race/ethnicity unspecified 3% Asian 2% Hispanic or Latino 1% American Indian or Alaska Native s by Criteria ( scale) External reviewers independently evaluate the Quality of Research for an intervention's reported results using six criteria: Reliability of measures Validity of measures Intervention fidelity Missing data and attrition Potential confounding variables Appropriateness of analysis For more information about these criteria and the meaning of the ratings, see Quality of Research. Outcome Reliability of Measures Validity of Measures Fidelity Missing Data/Attrition Confounding Variables Data Analysis Overall Rating 1: Intentions to use ATOD : Knowledge of ATOD : Knowledge of peer pressure and healthy choices : Knowledge of learning styles Study Strengths The PALS Questionnaire has face validity. Teachers received initial and booster trainings to learn procedures for delivering PALS, followed a curriculum, and kept daily lesson logs to track the completion of each unit. Research staff visited classrooms and performed in-class monitoring to determine whether the materials were being presented as intended. Missing data were negligible for both years of the study. A quasi-experimental design was used during the first year of the study. The sample sizes for both years of the study were large, providing good statistical power. Study Weaknesses
5 Despite the use of correlational analysis, evidence of the evaluation instrument's reliability is limited. Neither criterion validity nor construct validity was documented. Although there were strong efforts to establish and maintain intervention fidelity, there was a lack of a psychometrically sound fidelity instrument to monitor the quality of intervention delivery. The study did not adequately address threats to internal validity, including the possibility of selection bias and contamination. In year 2 of the study, no control group was used for comparison with the intervention group. For analyses of data from year 1 of the study, which compared intervention and control groups, the use of t-tests alone is limiting. Readiness for Dissemination Review Date: April 2011 Materials Reviewed The materials below were reviewed for Readiness for Dissemination. The implementation point of contact can provide information regarding implementation of the intervention and the availability of additional, updated, or new materials.
