| Summary: | 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, health, and other critical issues. Because the validity and generality of these studies is of paramount importance, Joseph A. Durlak focuses this volume on programs that have been carefully conceptualized, conducted, and evaluated. And, because two decades of study indicate that interventions that attempt to change only attitudes and knowledge have not been successful, Durlak emphasizes programs that have produced positive effects on behavior and adjustment. |
