2013Strategies for Success Program Findings Sheet –Middle School

Project Goal and Objectives:

Program Setting:

Evaluation Design and Brief Sample Description:

Table 1 describes the sample broken down by biological sex.

Table 1: Demographics for middle school SFS program participants by biological sex

Mean Age for Male SFS Program Participants:

μ= 00.0 sd= 0.0 range: Min = 00Max = 00

Mean Age for Female SFS Program Participants:

μ= 00.0sd= 0.0 range: Min = 00Max =00

Tables 2 captures the percentage of middle school SFS program participants self-reporting any past 30-day substance use at pre-test & post-test, by biological sex and the % change from pre-test to post-test

Table 4 captures the percentage of respondentswho reported any ATOD use at pre-test among the corresponding ordinal ATOD measures.

Table 5 provides results from the GLM analyses that examine the effect of time on the post-test estimates controlling for the effect of baseline estimates on post-test estimates. Dichotomous ATOD use measures are used.

†Dichotomous (yes/no) ATOD use measures used

§Based on the combined responses to questions 26-30

a partial eta squared where effects are: small = .01, medium = .06, large = .14 or larger

*p  .05, **p  .01, ***p  .001

Table 6a provides results from the GLM analyses that examine the effect of time on the posttest estimates of perceived risk of harm associated with ATOD use, attitudes towards ATOD use, and intentions to smoke controlling for the effect of baseline estimates on posttest estimates. Table 6b shows Cronbach’s alpha for risk of harm scale at pre- and posttest.

Discussion of Findings for Module A

Consider the following statements & questions as prompts only. You may remove these and summarize the information & findings you feel are most important to communicate to OSAP. This is also a space where you can include any graphs from the GLM analyses that you feel present a better picture of your results.

1) Note any observed trends in demographics that might affect your results. (e.g., predominantly female, predominantly Native American, etc.) (Table 1)

2)How did Past 30-day ATOD Use at Pre-test compare to Past 30-day ATOD use at Post-test for each substance? Note whether it increased, decreased, or stayed the same. Do you feel these are meaningful changes, regardless of significance. How did estimates differ when only those who reported use at baseline were included? Which do you think more accurately reflects the program effectiveness (if you have an opinion)? (Tables 2 & 3)

3)Describe the Percentage of ATOD Use at pre-test and post-test and note whether percentage increased, decreased, or stayed the same for each substance. How do the changes reflect on the effectiveness of the prevention programming (if they do at all)? (Table 4)

4)Provide a summary of the key results from the 2013 GLM Analysis on measures. Refer to the Guidance as necessary. (Tables 5 & 6)

5)What implications can be drawn about the prevention program(s) conducted based on these results. Are there areas where the program was very successful? Are there areas that need more attention next year?

6)Are there additional results & issues that are not represented in the tables that should be mentioned and brought to the attention of OSAP?
