  • Variation in the Effect of Communities That Care on Community Adoption of a Scientific Approach to Prevention

    Open AccessValerie B Shapiro, J David Hawkins et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Society for Social…2013Cited by: 4References: 2

    Tested and effective approaches are available to prevent mental, emotional, and behavioral problems in youth, but such approaches are underused. Communities That Care (CTC) is a coalition-based strategy that aims to increase the use of tested and effective programs by combining the use of scientific evidence and stakeholder consensus to support the community adoption of a scientific approach to preventing mental, emotional, and behavioral problem…

  • Measuring Dimensions of Coalition Functioning for Effective and Participatory Community Practice

    VB Shapiro, V B Shapiro et al.ARTICLESocial Work Research2013Cited by: 10References: 5

    Social Work has a long history of community practice, but community practice models have been understudied. An important first step in conducting such studies is the establishment of psychometrically sound measures relevant for evaluations of community practice. In this paper, data are used from a community-randomized trial of Communities That Care (CTC), a coalition-based model of community practice shown to be effective at transforming communit…

  • Prevention service system transformation using Communities That Care

    Open AccessEric C Brown, J David Hawkins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2011Cited by: 8References: 53

    This study examines prevention system transformation as part of a community‐randomized controlled trial of Communities That Care (CTC). Using data from surveys of community leaders, we examine differences between CTC and control communities 4.5 years after CTC implementation. Significantly higher levels of adopting a science‐based approach to prevention observed in CTC communities compared with controls in 2004 were maintained in 2007. Leaders in…

  • Implementation of the Communities That Care prevention system by coalitions in the Community Youth Development Study

    Open AccessMichael W Arthur, J David Hawkins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2010Cited by: 7References: 30

    Although advances in prevention science over the past two decades have produced a growing list of tested and effective programs and policies for preventing adolescent delinquency and drug use, widespread dissemination and high‐quality implementation of effective programs and policies in communities has not been achieved. The Community Youth Development Study (CYDS) is a randomized, community‐level trial of the Communities That Care (CTC) system f…

  • Results of a Type 2 Translational Research Trial to Prevent Adolescent Drug Use and Delinquency

    J David Hawkins, Sabrina Oesterle et al.ARTICLEArchives of Pediatrics and…2009

    OBJECTIVE: To test whether the Communities That Care (CTC) prevention system reduces adolescent alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and delinquent behavior communitywide. DESIGN: The Community Youth Development Study is the first randomized trial of CTC. SETTING: In 2003, 24 small towns in 7 states, matched within state, were randomly assigned to control or CTC conditions. PARTICIPANTS: A panel of 4407 fifth-grade students was surveyed annually …

  • Translational research in action

    Open AccessAbigail A Fagan, Koren Hanson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2009Cited by: 8References: 47

    Translational research (Pentz, Jasuja, Rohrbach, Sussman, & Bardo, 2006; Woolf, 2008) is concerned with moving advances in prevention science into everyday practice in communities, yet there are few models for ensuring this transfer of knowledge. Communities That Care (CTC) provides a planned, structured, and data‐driven system that trains community prevention coalitions to select evidence‐based programs and replicate them with strong implementat…

  • Using Multilevel Mixtures to Evaluate Intervention Effects in Group Randomized Trials

    M Lee Van Horn, Abigail A Fagan et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2008

    There is evidence to suggest that the effects of behavioral interventions may be limited to specific types of individuals, but methods for evaluating such outcomes have not been fully developed. This study proposes the use of finite mixture models to evaluate whether interventions, and, specifically, group randomized trials, impact participants with certain characteristics or levels of problem behaviors. This study uses latent classes defined by …

  • Multilevel Analysis of a Measure of Community Prevention Collaboration

    Open AccessEric C Brown, J David Hawkins et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2008Cited by: 11References: 45

    This study assesses a measure of community‐wide collaboration on prevention‐specific activities (i.e., prevention collaboration ) in context of the theory of community change used in the Communities That Care prevention system. Using data from a sample of 599 community leaders across 41 communities, we examined the measure with regard to its factor structure, associations with other concurrent community‐level measures, and prediction by individua…

  • Bridging Science to Practice

    Open AccessAbigail A Fagan, Koren Hanson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2008Cited by: 15References: 32

    This paper describes the development, application, and results of an implementation monitoring component of the Communities That Care (CTC) prevention framework used in the Community Youth Development Study (CYDS) to ensure high‐fidelity prevention program implementation. This system was created based on research that community‐based implementation of evidence‐based prevention programs often includes adaptations in program design, content, or man…

  • Installing the communities that care prevention system

    Open AccessRose K Quinby, Koren Hanson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2008Cited by: 10References: 23

    This article describes the degree to which high fidelity implementation of the Communities That Care (CTC) prevention operating system was reached during the first 18 months of intervention in 12 communities in the Community Youth Development Study, a 5‐year group randomized controlled trial designed to test the efficacy of the CTC system. CTC installation in these communities included the delivery of six CTC trainings from certified CTC trainers…

  • Assessing community effects on adolescent substance use and delinquency

    Open AccessM Lee Van Horn, J David Hawkins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2007Cited by: 13References: 29

    This study investigates community‐level prediction of adolescent substance use and problem behaviors using ratings by community leaders to assess the effects of four risk factors on levels of drug use and problem behaviors. Three questions are examined: (a) Can psychometrically sound measures of community leader perceptions of risk factors in their community be developed?; (b) What is the relationship between community leader ratings of the commu…

  • Bridging the gap between science and practice in drug abuse prevention through needs assessment and strategic community planning

    Open AccessMichael W Arthur, Caryn BlitzARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2000

    Despite advances in knowledge about factors that predict substance abuse and interventions that have been effective at preventing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use among adolescents, the prevalence of drug use and abuse among American adolescents and young adults remains alarmingly high. The U.S. government spent $2.45 billion in 1999 on drug abuse prevention services and research, yet there is little evidence these expenditures are achieving …

  • Autonomy, Relatedness, and Male Adolescent Delinquency

  • Preventing Substance Abuse

    J David Hawkins, Michael W Arthur et al.ARTICLECrime and Justice1995Cited by: 2

    Although the prevalence of drug use among high school students and household members has been declining in recent years, high rates of substance use among arrestees, homeless individuals, and school dropouts, and an increasing trend in the number of drug-related hospital emergency room incidents, suggest that substance abuse among some populations has not declined. Prospective longitudinal studies have identified a number of risk factors that con…
