Project ALERT is one of the most widely used evidence-based programs in the United States but it may not make sense to use the program "as is" overseas. It is a social influence program that uses videos as a key component. Youth in other countries/cultures may not see themselves in the videos in the same way.
What may be of use to prevention organizations interested in developing a workable program are our web site tools such as: key components, the logic model and teaching strategies.
I'm doing this currently in Middle School. Mr. Reedddddddd. :}
