- Evaluation of the national youth anti-drug media campaign: fourth semi-annual report of findings. Evidence for campaign effects on youth and parent outcomes (NIDA, 2002). This report includes evidence about temporal changes in behaviour and attitudes and beliefs, focusing on changes between 2000 and 2001as well as evidence for cross-sectional association of exposure to Campaign advertising and attitudes and beliefs and, in some cases, behaviour. In addition, this report provides, for the first time, evidence from the cohort of youth and parents interviewed during the first half of 2000 and reinterviewed during the last half of 2001.
- Cultural mediators in a hegemonic nightlife — Opportunities for drug prevention (IREFREA, European Commission, 2004). The objective of this study is to analyse and understand these professional groups and the way in which they approach their educational role and the young.

- Evaluation of the national youth anti-drug media campaign: fifth semi-annual report of findings — Executive summary (NIDA, 2002). This executive summary focuses on evidence for Campaign effects on youth and parent outcomes. There have been about 18 months for the Campaign to produce detectable effects on the outcomes since the midpoint of the first wave of interviews, in March 2000, through the midpoint of the fourth wave of interviews, in September 2001. This report includes evidence about temporal changes in behaviour and attitudes and beliefs, focusing on changes between 2000 and 2001. The report also includes evidence for cross-sectional association of exposure to Campaign advertising and attitudes and beliefs and, in some cases, behaviour. In addition, this report provides, for the first time, evidence from the cohort of youth and parents interviewed during the first half of 2000 and reinterviewed during the last half of 2001.

- Uneffective Mass Media Campaign (ONDCP Media campaign). A re-evaluation of the previous evaluation found that the Campaign generally had no effect on the attitudes of youth not using Marijuana toward its use but that exposure to the Campaign was associated with unfavorable effects on youth perceptions of others’ use of Marijuana.
