Problems like violence, addiction, and stress are often targeted in prevention programs, but without strong theoretical and empirical foundations, these well-intended interventions often fail. To help practitioners develop and implement more effective programs, Romano fully illuminates the science and practice of prevention. He includes practical guidance for developing, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based preventive interventions across applied settings in education, health care, and the community.
Romano emphasizes behavior change theories that guide prevention programs as well as specific risk and protective factors to target. He also explores the broader implications of prevention science, including policies that enhance the health and well-being of the broader population, such as early childhood education, school-based drug and alcohol prevention programs, and legal empowerment of disenfranchised populations.
Rich in useful resources, such as the "APA Guidelines for Prevention in Psychology" 'this book is a one-stop introduction for professionals in multiple disciplines, including health sciences, social work, education, and clinical and counseling psychology.
