Icelandic Prevention Model in Rural Appalachian Communities
Background: This study assessed stakeholder experience with the core processes of The Integrated Community Engagement (ICE) Collaborative, a primary prevention approach addressing adolescent substance use in rural West Virginia, after three years of county-level implementation. Objectives: Guided by the Icelandic Prevention Model (IPM), the ICE Collaborative aims to enhance cooperation between researchers, policy makers, local practitioners, and …

The Icelandic Prevention Model Evaluation Framework and Implementation Integrity and Consistency Assessment
The Icelandic Prevention Model (IPM) follows a systematic but flexible process of community capacity building, data collection, analysis, dissemination, and community-engaged decision-making to guide the data-informed selection, prioritization, and implementation of intervention strategies in preventing adolescent substance use. This paper describes two new evaluation tools intended to assess the: 1) integrity of IPM implementation, and 2) unique…
Adolescent caffeine use and problematic school behavior
INTRODUCTION: Caffeine is a psychostimulant possessing arousal, motor activation, and reinforcing properties, which is consumed daily by most adolescents aged 12-19 years. Although current understanding of the implications of adolescent caffeine consumption for school behaviors remains incomplete, studies have shown that in addition to acute effects of the drug, in common with other habit-forming psychoactive substances, regular use leads to phys…
Beyond School Climate
BACKGROUND: The conceptual framework for School as a Protective Factor approach was presented in a companion article in this issue of the journal. The current article describes the validation of the School as a Protective Factor-Brief (SPF-Brief), a 13-item survey measuring the 3 core constructs and 13 defining characteristics of this framework. METHODS: The SPF-Brief was validated through 2 studies. The developmental study used a longitudinal de…
Beyond School Climate
BACKGROUND: The school climate concept has been promising, but has long-standing critiques that have not been adequately addressed to date. The School as a Protective Factor approach represents one attempt to offer a new approach that builds on and extends beyond the concept of school climate while addressing previously identified limitations. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEORY: The School as a Protective Factor approach offers a new framework for conceptua…
Preliminary impact of the adoption of the Icelandic Prevention Model in Tarragona City, 2015–2019
Background There is a great need for effective primary prevention intervention strategies to reduce and delay onset of adolescent substance use. The Icelandic Prevention Model (IPM) showed great success in Iceland over the past twenty plus years, however, evidence for the transferability of model is still somewhat limited. Using data collected in Tarragona during regional efforts to begin adoption of the IPM in Catalonia, this study tested the tr…
Social Support and Perceptions of Covid ‐19‐related Emotional Impact on Mental Health Among Early Adolescents in Appalachia
BACKGROUND: This raises questions concerning how young people's stress and psychological changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as social support during this time have affected their overall mental health. The aim of this study was to assess the association between sources of parental- and school-level social support and youth perceptions of COVID-19-related emotional impact on mental health among early adolescent girls and boys in Appalach…

Our Children Are Not “Behind” Due to the Covid ‐19 Pandemic, but Our Institutional Response Might Be
As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, the idea that children are “behind” has become a common refrain in the US media and a concern among families and educators. In this context, the designation “behind” suggests that young people are not making academic progress and/or developing socioemotionally at the rate they were expected to do so before the pandemic. The experiences of those who have cared for or worked with children before and during the p…
Parental support and monitoring as associated with adolescent alcohol and tobacco use by gender and age
PS and PM were protective against SU for all participants, consistent with previous literature. Girls reported greater parental monitoring than boys, irrespective of age-group. While girls experienced higher levels of monitoring, they did not report lower SU than boys. This suggests that monitoring girls more closely than boys appears unnecessary in preventing adolescent SU. Finally, PS was a more significant factor in preventing SU for older ado…
School Climate as a Universal Intervention to Prevent Substance Use Initiation in Early Adolescence
Initiation of substance use often starts during adolescence, with tobacco and alcohol use frequently preceding the use of marijuana and other illicit drugs. Studies suggest that a positive school climate may prevent substance use while promoting healthy student behaviors. The purpose of this study was to determine the longitudinal associations between school climate and substance use initiation in a group of middle school students. Parallel laten…
Using School Climate to Improve Attendance and Grades
BACKGROUND: Students with chronic absences tend to struggle academically and may not benefit fully from all school has to offer. A positive school climate has been shown to reduce absenteeism and promote academic success. In this study, we explored how a positive school climate and high satisfaction with school may influence absences and academic performance. METHODS: We used mediated path analysis to describe relationships involving school clima…
School Climate as an Intervention to Reduce Academic Failure and Educate the Whole Child
BACKGROUND: Preventing student academic failure is crucial to student health and life success. Previous studies suggest a positive school climate may reduce students' risk for academic failure and contribute to academic success. The purpose of this study was to determine the longitudinal associations between school climate and academic grades in a group of middle school students who transition into high school. METHODS: Parallel latent growth cur…
The Perceived Impact of I am Moving, I am Learning on Physical Activity and Family Involvement
Participants in the study reported that IMIL contributed to increased levels of PA and family/community involvement. The participants perceived that the use of IMIL helped parents/caregivers and their children become healthier, by improving the whole family's activity levels. Faculty and staff also reported that there were few barriers related to the implementation and sustainability of IMIL use in childcare settings
The Nexus of Stigma and Social Policy
Forestry and Famine in the Chambal-Jamna Doab, 1879-1919
As the Twentieth Century Ages
Eric Hobsbawm’s The Age of Extremes deserves to repeat the success of its predecessors, The Age of Revolution, The Age of Capital and The Age of Empire. In what is presumably his final volume in this series, Hobsbawm’s vivid style and humanist vision again illuminate an enormous range

This article argues that there is only one correct form of sociological method. Its form is dictated neither by questions arising from epistemology nor from the choice of methodological technique. Instead it puts forward a sequence of necessary operations which are called 'socio-logic
