Abstract
In this issue of the Journal is a classic study of health behavioral change intervention. The Hutchinson Smoking Prevention Project (HSPP) (1) is destined to become the gold standard in prevention science, the definitive study on the social-influences approach to prevention. Whenever such an impressive intervention study finds no effect on the outcomes, there is a search for what could possibly have gone wrong (2,3). Before commenting on more plausible explanations for the findings, we will review the usual list of suspects.Keywords
