Abstract

Results from CAR were mostly encouraging. Youths in the treatment group, compared with youths in the control and comparison groups, participated in significantly more social and educational activities, exhibited less antisocial behavior, committed fewer violent crimes, and used and sold fewer drugs in the year after the program ended. They also were more likely to report attending a drug or alcohol prevention program.
