Despite widespread implementation, Cochrane reviews have found little evidence for the effectiveness of school - based drug prevention programmes
on adolescent substance use, with such reviews focused on any or only universal intervention approaches.4 — 6 Of the multiple intervention approaches examined by such reviews, little or no evidence of effectiveness has been found for the most commonly implemented curricula or information - only interventions.
Despite this associative evidence, to the authors» knowledge, existing systematic reviews assessing the effectiveness of school - based substance use interventions have not reported the effectiveness of universal resilience - based interventions
on adolescent substance use.4 — 6, 37 Three existing Cochrane reviews have individually examined the efficacy of school - based tobacco, alcohol and illicit drug use programmes.4 — 6 Such reviews have not reported outcomes for universal resilience - based interventions specifically, but have included such interventions in broader categories of intervention type for subgroup analysis.
The concept of resilience and closely related research regarding protective factors provides one avenue for addressing mental well - being that is suggested to have an impact
on adolescent substance use.8 — 17 Resilience has been variably defined as the process of, capacity for, or outcome of successful adaptation in the context of risk or adversity.9, 10, 12, 13, 18 Despite this variability, it is generally agreed that a range of individual and environmental protective factors are thought to: contribute to an individual's resilience; be critical for positive youth development and protect adolescents from engaging in risk behaviours, such as substance use.19 — 22 Individual or internal resilience factors refer to the personal skills and traits of young people (including self - esteem, empathy and self - awareness).23 Environmental or external resilience factors refer to the positive influences within a young person's social environment (including connectedness to family, school and community).23 Various studies have separately reported such factors to be negatively associated with adolescent use of different types of substances, 12, 16, 24 — 36 for example, higher self - esteem16, 29, 32, 35 is associated with lower likelihood of tobacco and alcohol use.

Advances in prevention in public health2 provide a model for prevention of
adolescent health - risk behaviors by focusing
on risk and protective factors predictive of these behaviors.3, 4 Research
on the predictors of school failure, delinquency, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, and violence indicates that many of the same factors predict these different outcomes.5, 6 Recent research has shown that bonding to school and family protects against a broad range of health - risk behaviors in adoles cence.6 Yet, prevention studies typically have focused narrowly
on a specific outcome, such as preventing
substance abuse, and
on attitudes and social influences that predict that outcome.7, 8 Previous studies
on prevention have not sought to address the shared risk and protective factors for diverse health - risk behaviors that are the main threats to
adolescent health.

A review of twenty studies
on the adult lives of antisocial
adolescent girls found higher mortality rates, a variety of psychiatric problems, dysfunctional and violent relationships, poor educational achievement, and less stable work histories than among non-delinquent girls.23 Chronic problem behavior during childhood has been linked with alcohol and drug abuse in adulthood, as well as with other mental health problems and disorders, such as emotional disturbance and depression.24 David Hawkins, Richard Catalano, and Janet Miller have shown a similar link between conduct disorder among girls and adult
substance abuse.25 Terrie Moffitt and several colleagues found that girls diagnosed with conduct disorder were more likely as adults to suffer from a wide variety of problems than girls without such a diagnosis.26 Among the problems were poorer physical health and more symptoms of mental illness, reliance
on social assistance, and victimization by, as well as violence toward, partners.
