Summary

This study tests a program called iDECIDE for about 300 middle and high school students who recently broke their school's drug rules. Instead of punishment, students take a course to learn about drug effects and brain development. Researchers will check if the program improves students' knowledge, attitudes, and reduces their drug use compared to a waitlist group.
