BASIC ELEMENTS OF PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND THE LOGIC
MODEL APPROACH FOR PLANNING AND EVALUATION
•Do you mean to say that this set of programs can
really be adjusted to the needs we have in this
field?
• Do these programs have the effects their
implementers are seeking?
•Are they truly preventive?
•¿Do they
rigor?
have
adequate
methodological
•Are we, the researchers, in agreement
about the most basic prevention questions
(populations, objectives, methodology, etc.)?
BASIC ELEMENTS OF PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND THE
LOGIC MODEL APPROACH FOR PLANNING AND
EVALUATION
Is program evaluation as important
in the prevention process? Should
we
promote
unification
of
programs?
¿Does prevention
really have a future or are we
living in a utopia?
Where are we going and how
do we want to get there?
BASIC ELEMENTS OF PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND THE LOGIC
MODEL APPROACH FOR PLANNING AND EVALUATION
•Define the problem
•Establish objectives
EXPERIMENTAL
OR
QUASIEXPERIMENTAL
PREVENTION
DESIGN
•Define the target population
•Design strategies
•Propose the development of
the intervention
•Establish results and
criteria for evaluation.
AREAS OF FOCUS
THE OBJECT OF DRUG PREVENTION:
• To suppress norms of use.
• To seek zero use.
• To postpone the age of first use.
• To postpone the age of first-use of gateway
drugs.
• To exercise control over personal and social
risk factors.
• To exercise control over use starting in early
childhood.

AREAS OF FOCUS FOR DRUG PREVENTION
Without experimental evidence but that are
the object of a prevention study
• To begin with an understanding of the social
roles that substance use plays in the culture.
• To change the family lifestyle towards one of
“zero use”
BASIC ELEMENTS OF PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND THE LOGIC

SOME BASIC ELEMENTS OF
DRUG PREVENTION
• Punctual actions
• The nature of timing in programs
• Policies supporting prevention activities
• Target Population

SELECTING THE TARGET POPULATION
(Selection Process)
Goal for Prevention Design (promotion, maintenance
and/or modification of lifestyles, in the audience
to whom the intervention is directed)
Risk factors: (multi-causal). Factures of an
individual, family, and brief academic nature.
Levels of Drug Use: (essential indicator for
designing prevention programs) “Legal Drugs”,
Illegal Drugs”.
•Research
•Designing, creating and validating
educational materials
•Diffusion and Communication
•Teacher training
Logical Framework Approach
•It is an outcomes-based tool to help
conceptualize, design, execute and
evaluate projects.
•It is useful to give structure to the
planning process for projects and to
communicate essential information
about the project to those involved to
be able to read in an efficient manner.
Logical Framework Approach
• Clarify the purpose and justification of the
project.
•Identify the information needed.
•Clearly define the basic key elements of the
project.
•Analyze the setting of the project from its
beginning.
•Facilitate
communication

•Identify how to measure the success or failure of
