Summary

This trial will test how well Project ALERT works when used with the support enhancement tool, Getting To Outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for 7th-grade students, mostly aged 12-14, who are attending one of the schools participating in the study. School staff at these schools interested in joining the study can also participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is evaluating Project ALERT, a substance abuse prevention program, with an added tool called Getting To Outcomes to enhance its effectiveness in middle schools.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there aren't typical side effects like you'd see with medication. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort during discussions about substance use.
