Outcome #3: Based on pre and post testing analysis done by Collaborative Planning <br />Group the likelihood of students saying no to alcohol and marijuana will show a <br />statistically significant positive change. <br />Overall Knowledge (n =1708) 71.4% 75.7% <br />Anti-drug Knowledge (n =1708) 1 63.5% ( 70.7% <br />Life Skills Knowledge (n =1708) 1 76.9% 1 79.2% <br />Lifetime Use Baseline, Follow-up Never New Users <br />Never Use Use <br />Cigarette (n =1697) <br />1610 (94.9%) <br />1580 (93.1%) <br />30 (1.7%)* <br />Alcohol (n =1640) <br />1388 (84.6%) <br />1302 (79.4%) <br />86 (5.2%)* <br />Marijuana (n =1706) <br />1632 (95.7%) <br />1579 (92.6) <br />53 (3.1%)* <br />Drug Refusal <br />Baseline <br />Average <br />Follow-up <br />Average <br />p -value <br />Summary Scores (n =1708) <br />4.70 <br />4.64 <br />0.003* <br />Cigarette Refusal (n =1707) <br />4.77 <br />4.72 <br />0.015* <br />Alcohol Refusal (n =1705) <br />4.62 <br />4.57 <br />0.035* <br />Marijuana Refusal (n =1704) <br />4.73 <br />4.64 <br /><0.001* <br />Conclusion: Students reported a greater incidence and frequency of lifetime usage of <br />all three types of drugs at the post-test. It should be noted, however, that a control <br />group would be useful here to determine if these rates were increasing at a slower rate <br />than would be expected in this age group. Focus groups will take place in each middle <br />school to determine what influences may be contributing to outcomes. <br />-40- <br />53 <br />40- <br />53 <br />
