Benefits of community‐based demonstration efforts: Knowledge gained in substance abuse prevention
Prospective studies document that preventive interventions can reduce the prevalence of substance abuse and antisocial behavior. In contrast, the justification for community-based demonstrations in substance abuse prevention and mental health promotion assumes that communities have decided to invest in prevention and now wish to learn from the experience of others on how the value of this investment can be maximized. The expectation has been that…

Emerging findings from high‐risk youth prevention programs
Substance abuse by our nation's youth continues to be a major national concern.Recent statistics from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) reveal that progress in combating substance use among youth ages 12 to 17 during the 1980s has stalled or reversed during the 1990s (Department of Health and Human Services, July 1994).Negative attitudes toward drug use have declined among adolescents and actual drug use (tobacco and marijuana) …

Prevention of Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Abuse: Federal Efforts to Stimulate Prevention Research
This article first provides an overview of a sequential approach to conducting research. This model and similar sequential approaches have sometimes been referred to as the phases of research model. Next, the article offers a summary of what has been learned from this research and offers some thoughts on what is needed in future prevention research efforts, particularly in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse prevention. The research agendas of…
Global conflict and violence against women
Global and local conflicts often emerge due to sociopolitical changes. Many of these changes entail negative consequences to women, usually in the form of violence against them. This article describes some of the oppressive conditions of women living in technologically underdeveloped and developed countries, as well as in war and state-sponsored violence areas. Special attention is also given to the gender-specific violence experienced by refugee…
Reducing risk-taking behavior among vulnerable youth: An intervention outcome study
The present study evaluated the effects of an interactive puppet program aimed at reducing the incidence of violence and drug abuse in a sample of 290 African-American youths. Ethnically representative puppets presented skits on problem situations that reflected the everyday realities of study youth. One condition viewed puppet skits and toured exhibits that reinforced the learning from skits; a second condition viewed skits only; and the third c…

Abuse of substances, behavioral dysfunctions, violence, emotional disorders, educational failures, unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases are but a few examples of these most difficult problems. As our recognition of the need for sound…

The Effects of Assertive Training on Counselor Trainees
It has been suggested that the addition of assertive training as an integral part of counselor education programs would be desirable. Although this study indicates that assertive training is effective in reducing counselor discomfort and anxiety, such training has no significant effect upon client or supervisor ratings of counselor effectiveness. Therefore, the addition of such a training experience seems, at best, to be open to question
