Outcome and process evaluation of a social norms approach intervention on nonmedical use of prescription stimulants for study performance among Flemish university students: a quasi-experimental study
The results of this study confirm that an SNA intervention could reduce the misperceptions of NMUPS among students. However, the hypothesis that the behavior of NMUPS for study performance would be reduced subsequently could not be demonstrated. Follow-up research is needed to investigate long-term effects. The implementation of the intervention might be improved by making more optimal use of the campaign budget.
