Early onset of substance use increases rapidly during adolescence and it has been associated with a wide range of adverse events.

This study examined the effectiveness of a school-based intervention program based on the application of the Reasoning and Rehabilitation V2 (R&R2) program for preventing substance use among adolescents at risk of academic failure. A sample of 142 participants (aged 13–17 years old) who were studying alternative education provision in Spain were randomly allocated to two conditions (68 experimental group, 74 control group). A pre-test survey assessing past and current substance use was conducted prior the implementation of the program, while a post-test survey was conducted about 12 months after the pre-test. The results showed a significant effect of the R&R program in the reduction of cigarette smoking, episodes of drunkenness, alcohol consumption and cannabis use. However, for daily smoking and episodes of drunkenness such benefits showed a reduction over time. These findings offer additional evidence of the effectiveness of the Reasoning and Rehabilitation V2 program in Spanish adolescent students who are exposed to substance use and suggest areas of future research.Raquel Alarcó-RosalesMiriam Sánchez-SanSegundoRosario Ferrer-CascalesNatalia Albaladejo-BlazquezOriol LordanAna Zaragoza-MartíMDPI AGarticlereasoning and rehabilitationsubstance useinterventionadolescentsSpainMedicineRENHealthcare, Vol 9, Iss 1488, p 1488 (2021)
