Summary

This study tested a program for high school students to prevent misuse of prescription drugs like painkillers and sedatives. Over 1,800 teens participated in either the program or standard classes. The program used online lessons and group activities to change attitudes and build skills. Researchers measured how often students used prescription drugs without a prescription.
