A Two-Year Evaluation of the Wood Rock Youth Development Project
The efficacy of a school-based initiative in reducing and/or preventing alcohol, tobacco, and drug (ATD) use in “at-risk” youth was examined. This evaluation represents a final report on the Woodrock Youth Development Project (YDP). Data from two cohorts, representing two academic program years, were combined to yield a final sample of 718 elementary and middle school youth. Youth were assigned randomly to either an experimental or control condit…
An Outcome Evaluation of the Woodrock Youth Development Project
The Woodrock Youth Development Project (YDP) aims to reduce alcohol tobacco, and drug (ATOD) use among adolescents. The YDP targets riskfactors thatpredispose youth to substance abuse, such as low self-esteem, unhealthy attitudes toward substance abuse, and lack of knowledge about drug effects. The YDP aims to improve problem-solving and coping skills, to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse, and to improve self-perception through…
An Outcome Evaluation of across Ages
The goal of Across Ages is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a comprehensive, intergenerational mentoring approach to drug prevention for high-risk middle school students. The core of the project is the involvement of older adults (55+) as mentors to the students. Older mentors help children develop the awareness, self-confidence, and skills they need to resist drugs and overcome overwhelming obstacles. In addition to mentoring, the project eng…
Age at first coitus and choice of contraceptive method
The incidence of cancer of the uterine cervix appears to be species-specific, thus confounding extrapolation of results from studies with experimental animals. In humans, the incidence varies more by social groups than does any other primary cancer. In a recent study, Puerto Ricans were found to have a 25 times higher risk of cervical cancer than Jews. Blacks had 4 times the risk of non-Jewish Caucasians. Age at 1st coitus (AFC) and number of coi…
