ROLE OF THE SCHOOLS IN PREVENTION WHAT WORKS...AND DOESN'T Other approaches have been shown to have positive results. No one intervention will be able to prevent use and abuse of drugs for everyone but studies indicate characteristics of curricula and programs necessary for success. Because the majority of youth experiment with substances, particularly alcohol and tobacco, ATOD prevention needs to target all students. Since risk factors are present years before initiation, prevention activities must start in elementary school and be periodically reinforced as students encounter new social situations and pressures to use substances. Programs designed to meet developmental needs of the students should be offered at each grade level without oversaturating students to the point they discount the information.

Students generally overestimate the proportion of their peers actively involved in ATOD. Hence, it is easier to be pressured by the myth that "everybody is doing it." Student surveys and opinion polls are used to help students understand actual use rates.
