Numerous education programs have addressed young peoples’ alcohol use. To date, no peer-reviewed publication has evaluated the effectiveness of such programs delivered across a range of contexts to change alcohol-related behaviors, attitudes and/or knowledge. This systematic review aimed to identify alcohol education programs addressing young people, and determine whether they changed alcohol-related behavior, knowledge and attitudes; and, ascertain components of successful programs. Studies were identified, guided by the PRISMA review process, from the earliest records until June 2020. Included studies (N = 70) comprised an alcohol education program which focused on young people (15–24 years). Forty programs reported behavior changes, and these programs were the highest quality. Others impacted attitudes and/or knowledge only (n = 12); or reported no impacts (n = 17). Recent programs were more likely than older programs to feature online delivery and report behavior changes. To enhance alcohol education, future programs should include the identified quality criteria, alongside process and long-term outcome evaluations, to better monitor effectiveness. Findings indicated some education programs have capacity to positively change alcohol-related behavior; however, outcome consistency varied even in high-quality programs. Alcohol education programs should be designed alongside health education/promotion models and best-practice recommendations, to improve the likelihood of desirable behavior-related outcomes.

对青少年酒精教育计划的系统评价：这些计划是否会改变行为？

许多教育方案都针对年轻人的饮酒问题。迄今为止，还没有经过同行评审的出版物评估了在各种情况下交付的此类计划的有效性，以改变与酒精有关的行为，态度和/或知识。这项系统的审查旨在确定针对年轻人的酒精教育计划，并确定他们是否改变了与酒精有关的行为，知识和态度；并确定成功计划的组成部分。研究鉴定，由PRISMA审查进程的指导下，从最早的记录，直到2020年六月包括研究（ñ = 70）包括针对年轻人（15-24岁）的酒精教育计划。40个程序报告了行为更改，这些程序是最高质量的。其他因素仅影响态度和/或知识（n  = 12）；或报告无影响（n = 17）。与较旧的程序相比，最近的程序更有可能具有在线交付功能并报告行为更改。为了加强酒精教育，未来的计划应包括已确定的质量标准，以及过程和长期结果评估，以更好地监控有效性。调查结果表明，某些教育计划具有积极改变与酒精有关的行为的能力。但是，即使在高质量计划中，结果的一致性也各不相同。酒精教育计划应与健康教育/促销模型和最佳实践建议一起设计，以提高与行为相关的预期结果的可能性。
