Preventive interventions for children and adolescents
18 Aug 2004
This handbook is edited by professor Lisa Rapp-Paglicci from the School of Social Work, University of South Florida, professor Catherine Dulmus and research director John Wodarski at the College of Social Work, University of Tennessee together with 41 American and one contributor from the University of Belfast from the fields of social work, public health and psychology.
There are 20 chapters divided into five parts: Introduction, preventive intervention for emotional problems, health problems, social problems and conclusion. Morbidity in childhood and adolescence has changed and the new disease pattern is dominated by obesity, diabetes, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, school violence and child abuse. The editors have chosen to use the primary prevention model developed by Gordon (Gordon R. An operational classification of disease prevention. Public Health Reports 1983;98:107-9), where the focus is on interventions to prevent the onset of a disorder or problem. Such intervention is divided into three areas: universal (interventions targeted to the general population), selective (interventions targeted to individual or groups at high risk for a specific disorder) or indicated (targeted for individuals with detectable signs or symptoms of a specific disorder). This theory is the basic concept for the presentation of the different chapters in this handbook on subjects like teenage suicide, substance abuse, teenage prognancy, AIDS, eating disorders, school violence and dropout.
We found this book based on sound research with a focus on evidence based approach to prevention, which can provide practitioners, policy-makers and professionals with sound material on emotional, health and social problems facing children and youth today.
