Abstract: This study will examine the proportion of Safe and Drug-
Free Schools and Communities grantees that are implementing research-
based programs and practices that are found to be effective and the
proportion of these programs that are implementing the research with a
high degree of fidelity. Specifically the study will investigate the
following two research questions:
(1) What proportion of drug and/or violence prevention programs
nationally, and in the SDFSC program, are implementing research-based
drug and/or violence prevention programs and practices that scientific
evidence has shown produce positive outcomes?
(2) To what extent nationally, and in the SDFSC program, are drug
and/or violence prevention programs that are implementing research-
based programs and practices doing so with fidelity to the research on
which they are based?
To address these questions, this study is conducting a systematic
review of research to identify effective programs and practices and
will survey a nationally-representative sample of districts, schools,
and Governors programs to assess the implementation quality of
prevention programs and practices.
