  • Abstract:
  • Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by significant social and behavioral changes, often accompanied by the emergence of problematic behaviors such as substance abuse, aggression, and delinquency. Educational intervention programs have become a popular strategy for addressing these issues, fostering positive behavior and academic engagement among adolescents. Research suggests that well-implemented, evidence-based interventions can reduce misconduct by up to 50%, demonstrating their potential to significantly diminish problem behaviors (Hawkins et al., 2008; Farrington & Ttofi, 2009). This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Educational Intervention Strategies in a rural secondary school in Thiruvananthapuram district Kerala. Over a six-month experimental period, 25 participants were identified for the intervention. Quantitative and qualitative data indicate that the intervention was effective for most of the target group, with a clear need for continuous implementation to sustain positive outcomes. However, challenges such as varying levels of teacher training, community involvement, and cultural sensitivity can impact programme success. This article examines both the promising results and the obstacles educators and policymakers face in implementing such interventions. By exploring successful case studies and potential pitfalls, it underscores the importance of targeted interventions in promoting healthier developmental paths for adolescents.
