The National Institute on Drug Abuse wishes to add the following research area at the end of the Areas of Research Interest. All other aspects of the announcement published February 5, 1993, remain the same, including receipt dates. Prevention Intervention Research: Controlled experimental or quasi-experimental research is needed to assess the efficacy of theory-based drug prevention intervention strategies specific to culturally diverse populations. Prevention interventions may target general populations or high-risk groups and be implemented in a variety of settings to include the home, school, community, and workplace. Prevention intervention research should focus attention on ethnic, cultural, and gender-relevant issues, concerns, and risk/protective factors that directly impinge upon the successful design and testing of theory-based drug abuse prevention interventions that best meet the needs of those at risk to drug use onset and progression to abuse. Proposed studies should: assess theories of drug prevention; evaluate the explanatory power of key mediating program variables; test the effectiveness of theory-based programs to prevent or reduce the use/abuse of a variety of drugs to include: alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, cocaine/crack, inhalants and other illicit drugs; develop or refine prevention research methods and measures, and analyze diffusion models of innovative practices.
