The youth and adult surveys are
designed for collecting data from participants of direct service
interventions lasting 30 days or more at three time points: (a) at
program entry, (b) at program exit, and (c) six months after
program exit. Comparisons of participant responses to the survey
items at these data collection points will provide information
about the effects of the program on individuals' knowledge,
attitudes, beliefs, and substance consumption patterns, as well as
on the sustainability of those effects over time. The
instrumentation will be used by all grantee sites that implement
direct service interventions lasting 30 days or longer. Both the
adult and the youth surveys ask about previous use, sources of
information, attitudes, and expected use in the future, while
adults are also asked their perceptions of substance use among
youths.
