  1. The 'theory of change' in prevention program design refers to:

    Answer: The logic model explaining how program activities lead to intended outcomes

    A theory of change articulates the causal pathway from program inputs and activities through to intermediate outcomes and long-term impact.

  2. Project Towards No Drug Abuse (TND) is primarily designed for which population?

    Answer: Older teens in alternative high schools and continuation programs

    TND was specifically developed and evaluated for high-risk older adolescents, particularly those in continuation or alternative high school settings.

  3. Which component of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) involves identifying local risk and protective factors through data collection?

    Answer: Assess

    The 'Assess' step of SAMHSA's SPF involves gathering epidemiological and other data to identify the community's specific prevention needs, resources, and readiness.

  4. A prevention program reports a statistically significant outcome (p < 0.05) but a small effect size (d = 0.10). What is the most accurate interpretation?

    Answer: The result may be statistically significant but of limited practical significance

    Statistical significance with a small effect size often reflects a large sample size rather than meaningful practical impact, so both metrics must be considered together.

  5. Which type of prevention addresses early signs of risk before a full disorder develops?

    Answer: Indicated

    Indicated prevention targets individuals who show early warning signs or subclinical symptoms of a disorder but do not yet meet diagnostic criteria.

  6. In evidence-based prevention, 'sustainability' most directly refers to:

    Answer: A program's ability to continue operating effectively after initial funding ends

    Sustainability in prevention refers to maintaining program operations, outcomes, and community support beyond the initial grant or funding period.

  7. The use of 'booster sessions' in evidence-based prevention programs is intended to:

    Answer: Reinforce skills and knowledge gained in the core program to maintain effects over time

    Booster sessions revisit core skills and messages at intervals after the main program to prevent skill decay and sustain behavior change over time.
