| This presentation combines data from several sources to summarize school-level correlates of prevention program strength. Using school aggregates of the program intensity and quality indicators described in the previous paper, this paper reports correlations between these quality indicators and school characteristics as reported by principals, teachers, and students. Data come from principal, teacher, and student surveys administered in a national probability sample of approximately 900 schools. Data include principal reports of community characteristics; principal and teacher reports of organization capacity, staffing quality, and leadership; and student and teacher reports of the level of disorder experienced in the school. The paper test the hypothesis that disorganized and poorly managed schools have the most difficulty implementing programs and experience the most disorder.
