Abstract

The purpose of this daylong workshop was to reach consensus about a prevention program to decrease risk and increase resiliency behaviors associated with substance abuse and HIV among rural adolescents in faith-based settings. The process and outcomes of the workshop are described. Workshop participants validated and prioritized risk and resiliency factors associated with substance abuse and HIV infection and used these to decide between potential prevention programs. A substance abuse (All Stars) program and an HIV (Be Proud! Be Responsible!) curriculum were selected and integrated. Consensus was reached that the implementation team should consist of adults and adolescents. Copyright © 2006 American Psychiatric Nurses Association.
