"Before and After" Assessment Tools for Prevention and Behavior Training Interventions

These six programs are computer-based survey and assessment tools that save student responses to six surveys. These assessments are intended to measure changes in several key SEL and prevention indicators before and after use of Ripple Effects comprehensive behavior training programs. They can also be used for pre and post assessment for any comprehensive and systematic SEL intervention.

The assessments are:

For elementary school students:
1. "you" (measuring resilience), and
2. "your school" (measuring school climate with respect to safety and discrimination).

For middle and high school students:
1. control (locus of control or self efficacy),
2. norms about drugs,
3. resilience, and
4. school climate

The survey instruments are all science based and adapted from previously validated scales. The Ripple Effects Self-determination Scales (RESD) are adapted from the Multi-dimensional Health Locus of Control scales (MHLC) that are in the public domain. MHLC have been used in over a thousand studies and have been cited in the literature hundreds of times over the past 20+years. Ripple Effects' drug norms and perceptions instrument is adapted from Monitoring the Future (MTF), an ongoing study of the behaviors, attitudes, and values of American secondary school students, college students, and young adults funded primarily by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
