Approved as
amended by ED memos to OMB of 1/28/98, 1/30/98, 2/2/98 and 2/2/98,
and ED's revised 83-I cover form submitted to OMB on 2/2/98. In
addition, in using the data from the "lower level" studies referred
to on page 6 of the supporting statement (e.g., intensive study),
ED will qualify any conclusions with the fact that the findings
lack the generalizability that a more nationally representative
sample would provide. Further, in any part of the study where ED
chose to sample only public schools, ED will qualify conclusions
with the fact that the findings are not generalizable to private
schools. Finally, ED will ensure that the reports based on this
study will be written in a manner that will help States and LEAs
implement the Principles of Effectiveness for the Safe and
Drug-Free Schools and Community Program by helping them identify
and adopt research-based practices and establish measurable goals
and objectives for local prevention programs.
