Abstract
This study examines the effects of alcohol use prevention curricula designed to have differential impact on hypothesized mediating variables. Three curricula, one which focused on teaching individuals social pressure resistance skills, one which focused on solidifying conservative group norms, and one which had a goal of increasing student understanding of the consequences of using alcohol, were tested. Results confirm that each program had a differential effect on hypothesized mediating variables.Keywords
