This document discusses drug education and prevention programs for young people. It provides evidence that early interventions can be effective in preventing mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Research shows the greatest benefits of prevention occur when focusing on young people. The document also outlines specific school programs that have been shown to work, such as the Good Behavior Game, Life Skills Training, Unplugged, and Preventure. However, it notes that only a small fraction of funding is spent on prevention compared to treatment. The document argues more needs to be done to implement evidence-based prevention programs in schools in order to delay or prevent problematic drug use and its high costs down the road.
