Findings from Brenna H. Bry's ongoing studies of risk and protective factors,
and other correlates have supported the development and continuing
evaluation of two manualized and preventive interventions: the
school-based Behavioral Monitoring and Reinforcement Program (BMRP) and Achievement Mentoring Program. Because the former program was designated as an effective strategy by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and
Drug-Free Schools program and the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention, Dr. Bry consults frequently with
schools and agencies adopting the program. The empirical bases
and implementation for BMRP are covered in her
book with Dr. Nancy Boyd-Franklin, Reaching Out in Family Therapy: Home-Based, School, and Community Interventions.
