Effectiveness of LST Among Minority Youth
Researchers have conducted several studies to determine the influence of the LST approach on ATOD use among racial and ethnic minority youth. This work is important not only because it examines the effectiveness of the LST approach among a wider target population, but also because it addresses the gap in ATOD abuse prevention research with minorities.
The most recent LST research with minorities targeted African-Americans and Hispanics. This research initially focused on cigarette smoking and subsequently examined other substances. Although intervention materials and methods were modified, as necessary, throughout development and testing, the underlying prevention strategy was not changed. Modifications related to the reading level at
which intervention materials were aimed as well as the inclusion of illustrations or pictures of minority youth and appropriate language, role-playing scenarios, and examples
