Abstract
The present study examined the usefulness of applying a group discussion technique known as the choice shift procedure to drug abuse prevention. Choice shift discussions produced both immediate and long-term antiabusive changes in college womens' drug attitudes. A second intervention, public commitment, exerted a variable influence on immediate attitude change. These results suggest that the group choice shift procedure could prove to be a useful component of drug abuse prevention programs.
