Title: Using Advances in Prevention Science to Guide Youth Development and Prevention of Problems in Commun

Using Advances in Prevention Science to Guide
Youth Development and Prevention of Problems in
Communities.

Presentation Objectives
  • A science-based public health approach to
    prevention of adolescent problem behaviours.
  • How can local agencies collaborate to apply the
    advances of prevention science to promote
    positive youth development and prevent problem
    behaviours?

3
History of Delinquency Prevention in the U.S.
  • Before 1980, nine experimental tests of
    delinquency prevention programs were conducted in
    the U.S.
  • NONE found desired effects in preventing
    delinquency. (Berleman, 1980)

4
Early Drug Abuse Prevention Research Findings
  • Tested approaches were largely ineffective
    (Elmquist, 1995 Hanson, 1992 Moskowitz, 1989).
  • Drug information programs increased drug use in
    some studies (Tobler, 1986).

5
The Premise of Prevention Science
  • To prevent a problem before it happens, the
    factors that predict the problem must be changed.

6
Advances in Prediction
  • Longitudinal studies have identified predictors
    of substance abuse-
  • Risk factors.
  • AND predictors of positive outcomes including
    avoidance of health risk behaviors-
  • Promotive and protective factors.

Promotive and Protective Factors
  • Individual Characteristics
  • High Intelligence
  • Resilient Temperament
  • Competencies and Skills
  • In each social domain (family, school, peer group
    and neighborhood)
  • Prosocial Opportunities
  • Reinforcement for Prosocial Involvement
  • Bonding or Connectedness
  • Clear and Healthy Standards for Behavior

15
What Is Known AboutRisk and Protection
  • Risk protective factors are found in
    communities, families, schools, peer groups and
    individuals.
  • The same risk protective factors predict
    substance abuse, violence, and other health and
    behavior problems of youth.
  • Risk protective factors show much consistency
    in effects across cultures, races and genders in
    samples from the US, Australia and the
    Netherlands.
  • The more risk factors present, the greater
    likelihood of substance abuse, violence, and
    other behavior problems and the less likelihood
    of positive outcomes.
  • Protective factors reduce effects of exposure to
    risk -- the greater the level of protection, the
    less likelihood of behavior problems.

16
Research Guiding Practice
  • Malleable risk and protective factors
    identified through longitudinal studies should be
    targeted by preventive interventions.

17
Advances in Prevention
  • Over the past 25 years, controlled trials have
    identified both ineffective and effective
    prevention policies and programs.

18
Ineffective StrategiesNational Institute of
Justice
  • Didactic programs targeted on arousing fear (e.g.
    Scared Straight).
  • D.A.R.E.
  • Peer counseling programs.
  • Segregating problem students into separate
    groups.
  • After school activities with limited supervision
    and absence of more potent programming.
  • Summer jobs programs for at-risk youth.

National Institute of Justice, 1998

Effective Programs and Policies Have Been
Identified in a Wide Range of Areas
  • Prenatal Infancy Programs
  • Early Childhood Education
  • Parent Training
  • After-school Recreation
  • Mentoring with Contingent Reinforcement
  • Youth Employment with Education
  • Organizational Change in Schools
  • Classroom Organization, Management, and
    Instructional Strategies
  • School Behavior Management Strategies
  • Classroom Curricula for Social Competence
    Promotion
  • Community School Policies
  • Community Mobilization

The Goal for Community Prevention
To identify and address those risk factors
that are most prevalent and those protective
factors that are most suppressed with tested and
effective policies and programs.
41
The Communities That Care Prevention System
  • A coalition/board of diverse community
    stakeholders applies the advances of prevention
    science to guide youth development and prevention
    work.
  • Measures community levels of protection and risk
    by surveying young people themselves.
  • Matches the communitys profile of risk and
    protection with tested, effective programs and
    policies.

42
The Communities That Care Prevention System
  • Ensures that new programs and policies are
    implemented with fidelity
  • Local control builds ownership to create
    sustainable change.
  • Focuses on measured outcomes Are fewer teens
    using drugs? Fewer smoking? Fewer committing
    violent acts?

Communities That Care Evidence of Effects
  • Adoption of science-based prevention is higher in
    CTC communities than in control communities.
  • CTC communities and schools are adopting tested
    effective programs.
  • The new programs are being implemented with
    fidelity.
  • Exposure to targeted risk factors is increasing
    less rapidly in the panel in CTC than in control
    communities.
  • By the spring of grade 8,
  • significantly fewer panel students in CTC
    communities than controls have initiated smoking,
    smokeless tobacco use, alcohol use, and
    delinquent behavior.
  • Significantly fewer report drug use, specifically
    current alcohol use, binge drinking, and
    smokeless tobacco use.
  • Significantly lower rates of delinquent behavior.

Summary and Implications
  • Tested and effective policies and programs for
    preventing adolescent substance misuse are
    available.
  • They can be implemented and sustained widely in
    communities with strong prevention coalitions.
  • We should promote the use of tested and effective
    prevention approaches where appropriate.
  • We should support rigorous evaluation of untested
    prevention approaches.

88
Summary and Implications
  • We can advance public health in our communities
  • Sponsor, endorse and use tested and effective
    prevention programs.
  • Promote the collection of data on levels of risk
    and protection to focus community action on
    elevated risks.
  • Engage in community efforts to strengthen
    protection and reduce risks.
  • For measurable results and sustainability
  • USE COMMUNITIES THAT CARE.

89
What is required to install CTC?
  • A coalition of community stakeholders.
  • A coordinator for the CTC process.
  • Manuals and curriculum materials.
  • Training from certified trainers.
  • Technical assistance when difficulties are
    encountered.
  • A monitoring system to provide routine feedback
    on progress and outcomes.

91
My Vision
  • Training and technical assistance are readily
    available to communities seeking to use the CTC
    system.
  • Systems for monitoring risk, protection and youth
    health are in place in communities.
  • Systems for monitoring fidelity of prevention
    policies and programs are functioning in
    communities.
  • Significant reductions in substance abuse and
    delinquency are achieved in communities.
  • Significant increases in positive youth
    development are achieved across communities.
