Say Yes First—To Rural Youth and Family Alcohol/Drug Prevention (SYF) was a 5-year, federally-funded U.S.D.H.H.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) project. The program was conducted not only during the school year, but also during the summer, 12 months a year, for consistent programming and interventions for the children. The project administrators and project staff designed the project activities and adapted them to the cultures of the students and their families, with parental input.
