Summary
This study tested an educational program designed to improve teenagers' knowledge and behavior around substance abuse. The program used a model called the Behavior Change Wheel to guide learning. Researchers worked with 226 adolescents aged 10 to 18 who had not received similar education before. The goal was to see if the program could help teens make safer choices.
