Tanglewood Research Information

Tanglewood Research was founded in 1993, with a three-fold mission: 1) To create positive youth development and risk-prevention programs that are optimally effective and cost-beneficial. 2) To create effective and efficient professional development systems that provide ongoing training and support to teachers and youth leaders. 3) To provide easy-to-use tools to evaluate program quality and effectiveness to improve performance and policy. Tanglewood Research offers the All Stars drug prevention program. All Stars is a science-based program that makes sense. All Stars is based on over twenty-five years of research and practical experience. All Stars is interactive, thought-provoking, and fun! All Stars programs prevent alcohol, tobacco and drug use, postpone sexual activity, and reduce fighting and bullying. More than this, All Stars helps teens build bright futures. Tanglewood Research also offers program evaluation services through the Evaluation Lizard. The Evaluation Lizard pretest/posttest service facilitates fast, effective and easy program evaluation. The Evaluation Lizard can be used to evaluate the All Stars program as well as other prevention programs.
