Article Synopsis
- The ASSIST + Frank study aimed to enhance a peer-led smoking prevention intervention by integrating new content from the Talk to Frank UK drug education resource, resulting in two new school-based drug prevention interventions.
- A three-stage framework was utilized to adapt and develop intervention content and delivery in collaboration with stakeholders, including focus groups and consultations to gather insights.
- After 18 months of iterative prototyping and adjustments based on stakeholder feedback, new and refined intervention activities were successfully tested for effective implementation.
