#2Given what you know about adventure
programming and experiential education….
….how could Extraordinary Extraordinary research that makes a difference happen without them??
• Core Experiential Learning Theory Assertions:– The actual behavior is elicited in context with real-
life contingencies• Behavioral reinforcement is built-in to the activity
– Effective use of metaphors promotes transfer across contexts
– Learning styles of youth favor experiential strategies

#4Lessons Learned in Moving Prevention Beyond Good
Intentions• Prevention Makes Sense BUT….
– How do we know it works?• For whom, under what conditions, and when?
– Not as provocative as treatment• Benefits not as concrete• Not crisis driven
– How do we get people to spend scarce resources of time, energy, and money?
![Page 21: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Creation of Prevention Research Branch and Development of Research
Portfolio (~1990)• Investigator Initiated Research
– Program Announcements for Preventive Interventions for Substance Abuse Prevention• R-01• R-21• R-03
– Specific RFA’s with set-asides– Mentorship/Training (K-series; Diversity
supplements)– FAST TRACK for new investigators– Small Business Grants (SBIRs/STTRs)
![Page 22: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Mission and Purpose of the Prevention Research Branch
• “…to support a developmentally grounded program of research on the prevention of the initiation of drug use, progression to abuse and dependence, and transmission of drug-related HIV infection.…” (p. 4)
![Page 23: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Noteworthy Tidbits• “To advance the field, novel interventions must
build on basic science findings from diverse fields…” (p. 5)
• Universal, selected, and indicated • Underdeveloped areas:
– Developmental transitions– Differential effectiveness – Fidelity of implementation– Emerging technologies
• Question: What does adventure programming and experiential education do that is relevant to NIDA prevention research priorities?
![Page 24: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
#5Going Beyond Best
Practices and Evidence-Based Programs
PRINCIPLES OF PREVENTION
![Page 25: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Clearly Established Principles
• Arrived at from an extensive literature review of articles from NIDA funded research
• Reviewed by an expert scientific panel
• Reviewed by a professional practitioner panel
• Resulted in 18 principles
![Page 26: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Risk and Protective Factors
• Prevention programs should– enhance protective factors and reverse
or reduce risk factors– address all forms of drug abuse, alone or
in combination– Address the drug abuse problems of the
local community by targeting modifiable risk factors and strengthening protective factors
– Be tailored to address the risks specific to the target population
Principles Related to:
![Page 27: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Prevention Planning
• Family programs should– Enhance family bonding, parenting skills, and
communication
• School Programs should be specific to the developmental status of the children– Before/during the elementary school years: self
control, emotional awareness, problem solving, communication & academic readiness/competence
– Middle, junior high, and high school: peer relations, study habits and academic support, communication, self-efficacy and assertiveness, drug resistance skills
Principles Related to:
![Page 28: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Prevention Planning
• Community Programs – Aimed at the general population during key
transition points (e.g, moving to junior high) can be beneficial for those at all levels of risk
– That combine 2 or more effective programs (e.g., school and family component) can be more effective than one program
– When using multiple context to implement programs, policies and practices consistent messages should be presented across settings
Principles Related to:
![Page 29: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Prevention Program Delivery
• When communities select programs to meet their needs, the implementation should retain the core elements of the original program
• Prevention is an on-going effort with repeated programming over time to reinforce earlier goals and develop new skills
• Teacher training in classroom management is a critical school-based prevention strategy
• Evidence based prevention interventions are cost effective
Principles Related to:
![Page 30: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Emerging Principles• Preventive interventions can have long term
effects• Preventive interventions can have cross over
effects• Early intervention may alter the life course
trajectory in a positive direction• High risk populations may benefit the most
from prevention interventions• Prevention interventions can influence
physiological functioning• Drug abuse prevention can be HIV
prevention• Environment can be a natural intervention
![Page 31: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

#6Expanding Our Understanding of
Prevention, Health Promotion, and Positive Youth Development
• Moving Beyond– A focus on individuals– A focus on programs – Conceptual models based on early aggression
• Moving Toward– Health Promotion Across Domains– Positive Youth Development– Conceptual Models Based on New Science from the
Micro to the Macro– Systems-Level Change
![Page 39: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Evidence-Based Kernels and Behavior Vaccines (Embry,
2004)• Evidence-based kernels are irreducible units of behavior-change
technology, and they can be put together into behavioral vaccines (daily practices) with powerful longitudinal results.
• Breadth of reach (self-directed, dyadic, group, community)
• Multi-level Approach– Level One – Cultural Modeling– Level Two – Brief Tools– Level Three – Narrow Focus Tools– Level Four – Broad Focus Tools– Level Five – Intensive Tools
![Page 40: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Related Paradigm Shifts
• Public Health Model vs. Medical Model– Curve Shifters
• Supply-Push vs. Demand-Pull
• Public Health Approach vs. Service Development Model
![Page 41: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“If we spend so lavishly on medical care and we care so much about
health, why are we so unhealthy?” (Cohen & Farley, 2005)
• A public health approach used to address preventable chronic diseases Shifting the Curve
• A focus on environmental contexts that serve as cues or triggers for behaviors that are risks for health or are health promoting– Environments can be physical or social
• Example of heart disease– What aspects of our environment make it easy to
do the things that put us at risk for heart disease?
![Page 42: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Bell Curves• Basic shape of bell curve
– High and low ‘tails’ of extreme behavior– Mean or average in the middle (at the height of
the curve)• Example of eating salt
– A medical approach would focus on changing ALL the unhealthy behaviors of people at the high end (in addition to medications)
• A focus on getting rid of the tail at the right of the curve– A public health approach would focus on
changing small behaviors of ALL people• A focus on shifting the mean of the curve to the left
– This reduces level of risk for all– This moves the ‘extreme’ tail farther to the left, so even
though the same number of people, they are at less risk
• Greater reduction of public health burden of heart disease when mean is shifted (than when efforts are focused on those at highest risk)
![Page 43: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Curve Shifters• Curve shifters are changes in the physical
and social environment that move the curve to the left– More sidewalks, mass transit – Time in schedule for taking a walk with
family/friends
• Not surprisingly, changing the environment to support healthy behavior is easier said than done
• Even so, it is a powerful tool for thinking about how we can prevent youth violence and/or bullying
![Page 44: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Developing Effective Prevention Services for the Real World
(Sandler et al., 2005)
• Prevention Research Cycle– Description of the problem– Development of intervention– Experimental test– Experimental test in service setting– Adoption and implementation
• Problems with this model (e.g., on-going services research)– Has not made a dent in prevalance at
population level– Not being adopted / Sustainability issues
![Page 45: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Prevention Service Development Model
• Service Marketing Perspective considers customer input at all stages (both ultimate client who is recipient and the agency that adopts)
• Front-end planning – Organizational mission and goals?– Idea generation– Concept development – Feasibility Analysis
• New Phases: Prototype Development and Testing; Introduction to the Market; Post Introduction Evaluation
![Page 46: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Small Business Approaches• Small Business Innovation Research
(SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR)
• Goal: Promote small businesses through innovation and technology, to “spread the news” about what works
• Small businesses create the applied possibilities, after Ivory Tower researchers create the concept
• Example: Evidence-based programs– Test on new populations and settings– Create marketing and implementation opportunities
for greater use/dissemination
![Page 47: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
# 7What are priority areas of
hypothesis-testing for adventure programming and experiential
education?
• Specific Areas of Research Interest (pp. 6-9)
• Question: What would the little ‘line items’ be for adventure programming and experiential education look like? – WRITE THESE DOWN AND GET A COPY TO ME

Food for Thought• Testing Experiential Learning Approaches
– Comparison of EBPs with and without EE
• Additive Effects Use of metaphors/language from school-based prevention curriculum to field trips
• Diffuse Binge Drinking with Rites of Passage• Teach parents how to facilitate ‘natural high’
experiences to promote competence and transfer across settings (and over time)– E Sharp’s research on leisure guidance from
parents
![Page 49: Aleta L. Meyer, Ph.D. Health Scientist Administrator (e.g, Program Official, Cheerleader)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812ad8550346895d8ebc8b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• Event-Affect Links– Social-Emotional-Information Processing
• Relational Frame Theory / Contextual Psychology– Move from belief we need to change beliefs or
