Successful Prevention Programs for Children and Adolescents presents a
wide variety of exemplary programs addressing behavioral and social
problems, school failure, drug use, injuries, child abuse, physical
health, and other critical issues. The validity and generality of each
study's results are given special attention, and outcomes involving
actual behavioral change are emphasized. A special appendix lists
resources on prevention, including other texts, special journal issues,
national clearinghouses, resource centers containing videos and
curriculum materials, and Web sites.
