Rock In Prevention WORKS!
Rock In Prevention -
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS VIDEO
Iowa State University, Institute For Social And Behavioral Research The Institute for Social and Behavioral Research, Iowa State University completed a federally funded (SAMHSA - CSAP) research of the Rock In Prevention (RIP) and Rock In Prevention Plus (RIPP) programs. The frequencies and regression analysis identify that both Rock In Prevention Plus (RIPP) and Rock In Prevention (RIP) are effective in reducing substance use and increasing the perception of harm in comparison to the Control Group. Documented scientific evidence shows that both Rock In Prevention and Rock In Prevention Plus are effective in reducing the use of the four targeted substances, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and inhalants. The study included randomly selected school sites, pretest, posttest and six month follow-up substance use and perception of harm survey instruments (GPRA youth surveys) and control schools. The project offered a universal prevention approach that generated data that has been analyzed individually by risk-factors for each youth using at-risk characteristic indicators in the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) indicators: monthly use, perception of risk, disapproval, intention to use, and age of first use. Each student completed a pretest, posttest, and follow-up survey (six months after the end of the program). The data identifies that the Control group consistently showed increases in use across all four substances and had reduced levels of perception of harm. The students who received either RIP or RIPP had lower levels of 30 day use and higher levels of perception of harm than the Control group showing Rock In Prevention interventions as effective.
