Solving problems before they become a national crisis benefits entire at-risk populations and saves time, money, and resources. Effective prevention programs can make these benefits a reality — and with this landmark book from foremost authority John Borkowski, professionals will see what types of prevention efforts really work. The first and only synthesis of prevention research and methodology, this timely volume examines programs targeting eight of today’s most pressing problems that affect infants, children, and youth, including:

1. Child maltreatment
2. Youth violence
3. Childhood developmental delays

6. Marital conflict and divorce

Researchers, students, administrators, and policymakers will:

Through these thorough, multifaceted explorations of successful programs, readers will see the interplay between the science of research and the art of practice - and appreciate the profound difference prevention efforts can make in the lives of children and families. Based on over a decade of research and best practices, this is an invaluable resource for anyone who has a part in shaping the future of intervention and prevention programs.
