Abstract
The paper presents results of the second stage of a longitudinal outcome evaluation study aimed mostly at the assessment of preventive intervention effect stability over time. The two-year alcohol prevention program for 10–12-year-olds consisting of the “Home Detectives Program” and its continuation – “Amazing Alternatives” was submitted for evaluation. In the study carried out in a quasi-experimental design participated over 700 students of eight primary schools in Ursynów, the district of Warsaw. The schools were randomly assigned either to the intervention or reference conditions (four schools in each group). Self-report questionnaire was administered to students three times: 1) before the first part of the program; 2) before the second part of the program in the next year of education; 3) when the two-year program was completed. Qualitative evaluation indicated that the program Amazing Alternatives was implemented in all classes (in intervention group). However, in most of the schools implementation shortcomings were observed: „family evenings” – meetings at schools for parents and children were not organized; level of students’ satisfaction was to low. Beneficial effects of the two-year program have been identified for the whole group of the intermediating variables (MANOVA, F=4,50; p
