TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Pilot test results comparing the All Stars program with seventh grade D.A.R.E.: program integrity and mediating variable analysis JO - Substance use and misuse A1 - Hansen, W. B. SP - 1359 EP - 1377 VL - 31 IS - 10 N2 - A pilot test of a new program, All Stars, was completed. Four variables known from prior research to mediate high-risk behaviors were measured: 1) personal commitment to avoid participating in high-risk behaviors, 2) ideals incongruent with high-risk behaviors, 3) bonding with prosocial institutions, and 4) conventional beliefs about social norms regarding high-risk behaviors. Compared to students who received the seventh grade D.A.R.E. program, students' who received the All Stars program had significantly better outcomes on each mediator. All Stars students also gave superior ratings to the program and their involvement in it.
