Healthsim Inc specializes in the research and development of prevention science products. The program's curriculum incorporates the components of primary prevention efforts that have been shown to be efficacious in preventing initiation to drug use, such as drug refusal skills training, general decision-making skills training, and social skills training, which are presented in the context of both Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) and video-based simulation technologies. HealthSim believes that this approach will promote the increased adoption of prevention science, as it is designed to be efficacious, cost-effective, easy to deploy and able to be applied with fidelity. This program is designed to promote well-known "protective factors" (such as social skills, decision-making skills, and self-efficacy). It is also designed to target all forms of drug use, especially, cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, but also other illicit drugs
