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.
