Two reviewers screened titles/abstracts and full text of identified records. Data collection and analysis.
Two reviewers extracted relevant data independently using an a priori defined extraction form. Risk of bias was assessed. Main results. 53 trials were included, most of which were cluster- randomised. The reporting quality of trials was poor, only 3.
Incomplete data was adequately addressed in 2. Due to extensive heterogeneity across interventions, populations, and outcomes, the results were summarized only qualitatively. Six of the 1. 1 trials evaluating alcohol- specific interventions showed some evidence of effectiveness compared to a standard curriculum.
In 1. 4 of the 3. Gender, baseline alcohol use, and ethnicity modified the effects of interventions. Results from the remaining 3 trials with interventions targeting cannabis, alcohol, and/or tobacco were inconsistent.

Authors' conclusions. This review identified studies that showed no effects of preventive interventions, as well as studies that demonstrated statistically significant effects. There was no easily discernible pattern in characteristics that would distinguish trials with positive results from those with no effects. Most commonly observed positive effects across programs were for drunkenness and binge drinking. Current evidence suggests that certain generic psychosocial and developmental prevention programs can be effective and could be considered as policy and practice options.
These include the Life Skills Training Program, the Unplugged program, and the Good Behaviour Game. A stronger focus of future research on intervention program content and delivery context is warranted.
