Summary:

This report examines the U.S. Army alcohol and drug prevention/ education program and assesses its effectiveness. The objectives of this project were: (a) to systematically review the available methods of drug abuse education and prevention; (b) to determine the effectiveness of selected methods of drug abuse education and prevention in the military setting; (c) to assess the interaction between the method of education and individual characteristics; (d) to develop reliable techniques for evaluating drug abuse education and training; (e) to develop multiple criteria for assessing the impact of education and training programs on broad classes of behavior, attitudes, and values; (f) to show how the alcohol and drug prevention/education program fits into the Army structure, and how the functioning of the program is affected by its position in that structure, by the roles of members of the Army's leadership structure (LS), by the characteristics and values of lower grade (E-1 to E-5) enlisted men, and by the Army's law enforcement efforts with respect to illegal drugs.
