Interventions (excl. population level)
• Substantial body of literature
• Evidence in support of:
o Parenting interventions
o School-based interventions:
o Multi-component school-based programs for tobacco use (less clear
alcohol and drugs)
o Certain non-specific programmes e.g. social influences for alcohol
use
o Social norms (small but positive effect) - alcohol
o Programmes that improve personal and interpersonal skills and
address social influences for drug use
o Individual-level interventions: findings are mixed

Interventions
• Heterogeneous body of evidence
o Variation in participants, components, duration,
outcomes, follow up
o Differential effects by age & intensity
o Methodological and reporting issues
oRisk of bias
Scope for novel approaches
![Page 26: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Background and Rationale
• Role & impact of peers and social
networks on alcohol use
o Harnessing role or influences
o Novel intervention
o Peer-based models

Peers and substance use
• Peers play prominent role at this stage
• Association with substance-using peers
associated with young people’s use
o Influence of behaviour
o Selection of peers with similar behaviour
o Both mechanisms
o E.g. 6-fold greater likelihood of drinking with 4 vs 0 drinking
peers

Peer-based approaches
• Delivery, facilitation, group work
• Part or all of intervention
• Same age / older peers
o Formal or informal settings
o Educational,
o Discursive, ‘diffusion’
‘The teaching or sharing of health information, values and behaviours by
members of similar age or status group’
(Sciacca J. Peer Facilitator Quarterly 1987;5: 4-6)
![Page 29: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Peer-based approaches
• Credibility• Learn from each other• Shared cultural background• Understand behaviour• Positive role models
![Page 30: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Evidence Base• School-based health education
o n=7/11 (64%) peers at least as effective as adults
o n=9/11 (75%) more effective vs control (Mellanby, 2000)
• Peer-delivered health promotion interventions
o n=7/12 (58%) effective for ≥1 behavioural outcome
o n=5 with contradictory results (Harden, 2001)
![Page 31: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Evidence Base
• Positive view from young people (Harden, 1999, 2001)
• Overall, evidence not clear
• Lack of methodological rigor
• No meta-analysis
• No recent evidence (published 1999-2001)
![Page 32: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Adverse effects
• 2 studies
• Enhanced tobacco / alcohol use among higher-
risk groups
o Peer leaders identified via social network
nominations
o Higher use among those with existing networks of
substance-using peers (Valente, 2007)
o Higher prevalence of smoking & pro-smoking
attitudes among baseline smokers in peer-led arm (Ellickson, 1990)
![Page 46: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Study Summary
• Multiple databases
• Three behaviours
• Quantified effect for
1st time
• Low quality of evidence
& risk of bias
• Insufficient data to
compare across risk
groups or by
gender/ethnicity/SES
• Cultural norms of 1980s
and 90s
![Page 47: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Summary
• Corroborate and strengthen evidence
• Peer-led interventions can reduce tobacco,
alcohol and possibly cannabis use in young
people
o Peers embedded in social groups
o Share social, cultural norms & background
o Credibility
o Possible benefits to peer leaders themselves
• Scope for more extensive trial and
implementation e.g. school-based curriculum for tobacco
![Page 48: Peer-led interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use among young people: What's the evidence?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587796961a28ab0f778b60d9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Implications & Conclusions
• Poor quality evidence
• Potential for adverse consequences
o Cultural, social and peer norms
o Targeting of messages in different risk groups
o Wider influences of behaviour
• Need for robust, rigorously conducted studies
o Longer follow up
o Process evaluations
