APPROXIMATELY 6,000 STUDENTS ARE SEEN IN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP SESSIONS. THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM ARE TO PREVENT STUDENTS FROM USING ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS, TO INCREASE SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY AWARENESS ABOUT ADOLESCENT ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE, TO ELIMINATE ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG USE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE USING BY EDUCATING THEM ABOUT THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR USE, AND TO EMPOWER NON-USING ADOLESCENTS TO STRENGTHEN THE FACTORS THAT PROTECT AGAINST THE RISKS OF SUBSTANCE USE. THE PROGRAM IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE FEW PREVENTION/EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO DOCUMENT A POSITIVE IMPACT ON REDUCING ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE AMONG AT-RISK STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOLS. THE SAP IS BEING REPLICATED IN NINETEEN STATES, AND FOURTEEN OTHER COUNTIES IN NEW YORK STATE AND WAS HIGHLIGHTED AS A NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON ALCOHOL ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM AND DESIGNATED A PROJECT FOR REPLICATION BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, CENTER FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION IN 1984. THE SAP WAS ADAPTED FOR RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES (RSAP) AND IN 1999 WAS DESIGNATED BY THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION'S (SAMHSA) CENTER FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION (CSAP) AS AN EXEMPLARY PROGRAM. THE SAP WAS MODIFIED TO INCORPORATE ADDITIONAL PREVENTION PROGRAM COMPONENTS AND NAMED PROJECT SUCCESS AND RECEIVED THE SAME DESIGNATION IN 2000. BOTH RSAP AND PROJECT SUCCESS ARE HIGHLY RATED PROGRAMS ON SAMHSA'S NATIONAL REGISTRY OF EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES. 279610 311918 0 "ROADD" IS AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AIMED AT PREVENTING DRINKING/DRUGGING AND DRIVING AMONG HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH.
