Abstract

Policy instruments such as the National Policy for Reducing Substance Use (Ministerio de Protección Social, 2007) and the National Law on School Coexistence (CRC, 2013) follow a preventive approach to address the problem of alcoholism in Colombia. However, neither national public bodies nor schools often have access to information on prevention programs based on scientific evidence. In this article, the international literature on alcohol abuse prevention programs in the school setting is reviewed. It was found that the most robust programs are characterized by (1) differentiating between abuse and use, (2) simultaneously addressing the problem of addiction to different psychoactive substances, (3) relating alcohol to overall social-emotional development, (4) having a duration of at least 40 hours, and (5) considering strategies that ensure fidelity in their implementation. These elements can guide the design of new programs in the school context.
