Abstract

This entry examines what research can tell us about school-based and family-based programs for children 5–12 years old related to the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD). Our purpose is not to provide an exhaustive review but to evaluate effectiveness of these two different types of programs to prevent the use of ATOD in childhood.
