Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Life skills training, a detailed and well-evaluated program, emphasizes building drug resistance skills, personal and social competence, and altering cognitive expectancies around substance use (Griffin & Botvin, 2010). Because adolescents must receive consistent messages and reinforcement regarding pressures to use alcohol and drugs, as well as develop effective refusal skills, societal messages about responsible use are emphasized to influence students' behavior.
