  programs may possess greater potential for primary prevention
  than teacher-led ones.
  C. Share that peer-led programs yield twice as much student selfdisclosure
  among participants as teacher-led ones, which can
  only help the participants.
  D. Share that studies comparing teacher-led and peer-led
  prevention interventions have resulted in mixed findings, so the
  parent might be right.
