    Stephen Kauffman, John PoulinARTICLEThe Journal of Sociology & Social…1996

  • Citizen participation in prevention activities: Path model II

    Open AccessJohn Poulin, Stephen KauffmanARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology1995References: 13

    Effective, community-wide AOD prevention activities require a broad base of citizen involvement in program planning and implementation. Yet what influences an individual's decision to participate in these activities, particularly in a socially distressed community, is not well known. In a previous study, the authors developed a three-factor path model of participation. These factors were participation accessibility, the desire to participate, and…

    Stephen E Kauffman, Stephen KauffmanARTICLEJournal of Community Practice1995References: 7

    Conflicts between governmental agencies and individuals are common in citizen participation programs. One source of these conflicts is barriers to full participation in decision-making. This paper identifies and examines these barriers. It also highlights how conflict may be reduced through the removal of these barriers in the case study of a community during a citizen participation program. The implications for program changes and community orga…

    Success in the recent shift in focus of alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention programs to comprehensive community models requires widespread citizen participation. Few studies, however, have examined the factors that affect individual participation in the area of AOD prevention. Building upon the citizen participation literature from a variety of non-AOD substantive areas, this study hypothesizes and examines a path model composed of three cons…
