Simplifying the delivery of a prevention program with web-based enhancements.
The ease with which prevention programs can be delivered may impact whether or not they are implemented as designed. This paper presents a website with enhancements designed to make delivery of the All Stars substance use prevention program easier. Administrative tasks, such as completing paperwork associated with program delivery were automated using web technology. A pilot study of the web site was conducted with program instructors. There was a significant improvement in teachers' perceived ease of program delivery. Modest correlation coefficients were found for the relationship between ease of delivery of specific program activities and adherence to these activities.
