Substance use among adolescents is a public health problem. We culturally adapted The Social Competence Promotion Program for Young Adolescents (SCPP-YA) program to the school context in Chile (henceforth "Mi Mejor Plan or MMP") and assessed the acceptability, feasibility, fidelity, and quality of the implementation among 6^th graders.
