Yes. Studies show that the LST program produces reductions in drug use that are long-lasting. For instance, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (April 12, 1995) found that the LST program produced reductions in the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use lasting more than 6 years after the initial baseline measurement. These reductions lasted throughout junior and senior high school.
