The program structure of SHARP includes the following:
                        - SHARP is delivered in a 3.5 to 4 hour single session.
                        - Groups must be separated by gender.
                        - The ideal group size is 3 to 5 participants, and should not exceed 10 youth.
                        - When discussing marijuana and other drugs, alcohol must also be discussed.

                        - A SHARP user's guide
                        - Facilitator's manual
                        - Student workbooks
                        - Risky Behaviors computer game
                        - Alcohol use questionnaire
                        - Personal feedback report & scoring card
                        - CD containing both the "Your Move" and "Under the Influence" Videos. 

These materials can be found at: http://www.socio.com/passt28.php

The implementation of SHARP requires the following materials that are not available from the developer:
                        - Penis proxy
                        - TV/DVD player for viewing the videos
                        - A calculator
                        - Computers, ideally one computer for each 1-2 participants for the video game.  If you do not have the necessary number of computers to accommodate this, the alternative would be to use one computer and project the video game onto the wall or a screen using a LCD projector.

If the program is being implemented in a detention or other residential facility, it is recommended that program implementers check with the facility administration on banned items (e.g. pens) or any safety measures implemented on-site.

### Evidence by Outcome Domain and Study

#### Notes

*Some study entries may include more than one citation because each citation examines a different follow-up period from the same study sample, or because each citation examines a different set of outcome measures on the same study sample. A blank cell indicates the study did not examine any outcome measures within the particular outcome domain or the findings for the outcome measures within that domain did not meet the review evidence standards.*

*Information on evidence of effectiveness is available only for studies that received a high or moderate rating. Read the description of the review process for more information on how these programs are identified.*
