About Stay on Track
Continued from the home page.
The Stay on Track materials were developed by the National Center for Prevention and Research Solutions, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1989. Development of Stay on Track began in 1997, following the successful evaluation of NCPRS’ Adopt-A-School program materials. Stay on Track began a three-year longitudinal study of outcomes and process in 2000; the findings, produced in 2004, indicated substantial growth in key areas, including knowledge of the harmful effects of drug use, decision making and goal setting skills, intent to use, and others. NCPRS has submitted the findings of the longitudinal study and the pilot year implementation study to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) for review and inclusion in their effective programs list. The innovative Stay on Track materials are updated annually by NCPRS to maintain currency and relevance to our youth and field implementers.
