Abstract
SUMMARY Although prevention programs play a significant role in combating drug-taking behavior, they can become more effective if they reflect the attitudes, beliefs and social and cultural experiences of the population they intended to reach. This paper reviews the relationship between prevention program effectiveness and culturally relevant strategies. It provides an outline of procedures that can be followed to develop culturally relevant programs and discusses implementation strategies.
