Proposed Project: The Workplace Prevention and Early Intervention
Transitioning Youth Into the Workplace (YIW) Cross-Site Evaluation--New
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) plans to conduct
a cross-site evaluation of the effectiveness of workplace-based
substance abuse prevention and early intervention programs for young
adults (ages 16-24). These programs will be implemented by 9-10 CSAP-
funded grantees and their partnering worksites. The primary purpose of
the evaluation will be to study the effectiveness of modified model and
effective drug-free workplace prevention and early intervention
programs and interventions for incoming populations of young employees.
This will provide the Nation's public and private employers with
empirical information about effective strategies to utilize for these
incoming employees in preventing and intervening early with substance
abuse. A web-based survey will be used to collect data from employees
at the participating grantee worksites at baseline and at 1- and 2-year
follow-up points. The survey is composed of OMB approved CSAP's
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) outcome measures such as
prevalence of drug and alcohol use, perceptions of risk, and attitudes
and beliefs and a set of supplementary questions capturing workplace
outcomes such as productivity, absenteeism and accidents.
