In Classrooms & With Other Educational Programs

Of particular note, research shows that when the eCHECKUP TO GO is added to existing knowledge-based educational programs, it significantly improves the effectiveness of these educational approaches (Wilson, Henry & Lange 2005).

Both programs are also used with students who are self-referred due to concerns about their alcohol/drug use, students mandated to see a health provider for an assessment/intervention as well as at the population-level for all students.
