Can the LST program be modified?

This question comes up from time to time. It would be nice if the answer was as simple as the question. Studies have shown that the higher the implementation fidelity of the LST program, the better the results. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some flexibility for providers to bring their own passion, style, and expertise to LST lessons. In this webinar, the presenter will share the fundamentals related to implementation fidelity for the LST program, introduce questions to ask ourselves before making modifications, and provide guidance on fidelity-based modifications. Examples will be used from the Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) program to illustrate examples.
