Research on Effective, Evidence-Based Prevention
The June/July 2003 special issue of the American Psychologist contains articles on key research findings and common principles for effective programming. Among those articles are:
School-Based Prevention: Promoting Positive Social Development through Social and Emotional Learning The article makes a case for school-based prevention, summarizes findings of key studies of comprehensive SEL-based prevention programming, and discusses the role of prevention programs in the context of other school-wide and district-wide practices and policies. Prevention That Works for Children and Youth Introductory overview article to the special issue of the American Psychologist on "Prevention that Works" summarizing prevention approaches and identifying key points and themes related to effective school-based prevention programming.
Youth Violence: A Report of the Surgeon General This report -- the first Surgeon General's report on youth violence -- is a product of extensive collaboration. It reviews a large body of research on where, when, and how much youth violence occurs, what causes it, and which of today's many preventive strategies are genuinely effective. Like other reports from the Surgeon General, this report reviews existing knowledge to provide scientifically derived bases for action at all levels of society.
Blueprints for Violence Prevention This Bulletin describes the demanding criteria established by the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence to designate model Blueprints programs and the activities of the 11 programs out of the more than 500 that have been reviewed to date and found to meet those rigorous standards. Contact information is provided for each program, and replication and funding resources are discussed.
Preventing Drug Use Among Children and Adolescents: A Research Based Guide for Parents, Educators, and Community Leaders This second edition of the "Red Book" includes updated principles, new questions, new program information, and expanded references and resources based on the latest findings from NIDA-funded prevention research. The 16 fundamental prevention principles, derived from research on effective prevention programs, are outlined. Discussions include key factors that place youth at risk for drug abuse, guidance for planning drug abuse prevention programs in the community, applying the prevention principles to programs, and describing the core elements of effective prevention programs.
Sustainability
Implementation, Sustainability, and Scaling Up of Social-Emotional and Academic Innovations in Public Schools Based on experiences of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning and reviews of literature, the reasons why some schools fail to expand and sustain their social and emotional learning efforts are discussed, along with steps schools can take to help avoid these common pitfalls.
The Center for Mental Health in Schools at the University of California and Los Angeles provides information on sustainability of programs.
Social and Emotional Learning
Safe and Sound: An Educational Leader's Guide to Evidence-Based Social and Emotional Learning Programs Based on a three-year study funded by the Institute of Education Sciences and the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools in the U.S. Department of Education, Safe and Sound is a comprehensive and inclusive guide to social and emotional learning programming.
Developmental Assets
Search-institute.org Search Institute is an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide leadership, knowledge, and resources to promote healthy children, youth, and communities. To accomplish this mission, the institute generates and communicates new knowledge, and brings together community, state, and national leaders.
