Computer-assisted decision making: a strategy for primary prevention of substance abuse.
A series of six computer-assisted instruction (CAI) programs were developed for primary prevention of substance abuse. The target population, objectives, content, and strategies for the programs were determined from three sources: a literature review of prevention research, theories of learning, and principles of instructional design regarding use of computer technology. Because the focus of the programs is on helping children make responsible choices, the central theme of the programs is on improving decision making.
