Family and individual-based interventions to prevent multiple risk behaviours relating to alcohol, tobacco and drug use
Summary of the evidence
A systematic review with meta-analysis (Tinner et al., 2022, 66 studies) assessed the effects of individual-, family- and school-based interventions to prevent multiple risk behaviours relating to alcohol, tobacco and drug use in young people aged 8-25 years.
- There were too few family-level (n=4), individual-level (n=2) and combination level (n=5) studies to draw confident conclusions.
