Hours--6,992.
    Abstract: This study will examine the proportion of Safe and Drug-
Free Schools and Communities grantees that are implementing research-
based programs and practices that are found to be effective and the 
proportion of these programs that are implementing the research with a 
high degree of fidelity. Specifically the study will investigate the 
following two research questions:
    (1) What proportion of drug and/or violence prevention programs 
nationally, and in the SDFSC program, are implementing research-based 
drug and/or violence prevention programs and practices that scientific 
evidence has shown produce positive outcomes?
    (2) To what extent nationally, and in the SDFSC program, are drug 
and/or violence prevention programs that are implementing research-
based programs and practices doing so with fidelity to the research on 
which they are based?
    To address these questions, this study is conducting a systematic 
review of research to identify effective programs and practices and 
will survey a nationally-representative sample of districts, schools, 
and Governors programs to assess the implementation quality of 
prevention programs and practices.
