Is there a minimum class size requirement for a risk reduction course?
DDS rules and regulations require programs to have a minimum of 5 paid contracts for students planning to attend a scheduled course. The Intervention Component requires a great deal of group interaction, which, according to the Prevention Research Institute, is difficult to achieve if fewer than 5 students are present. However, be mindful that there are occasions when students may fail to appear for a scheduled course, the rules do give programs the discretion to cancel, reschedule, or proceed with a course if fewer than 5 students are present.
