A peer-led drug and alcohol prevention program is offered at the school in your community.
At a school board meeting you are
attending, a parent confronts the board and demands that the
program be shut down because she does not want her child being
counseled by another student. How would you respond?
A. Agree with the parent.
B. Explain your professional background. Share that peer-led
programs may possess greater potential for primary prevention
than teacher-led ones.

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.
