This forward-thinking reference spotlights an expansive and
inclusive community model for youth alcohol prevention as opposed
to traditional individual and school-based group approaches.
Focusing on a long-term intervention in a Southwestern border town,
it documents the development of critical consciousness in an
affected community, and emphasizes young people as crucial drivers
of change in their environment. The book's Community Readiness
Model provides vital context for successful coalition building
between youth, families, and community entities (e.g., schools,
civic leaders, police) in reducing alcohol risk factors and
promoting healthier choices. Given the severity and prevalence of
youth alcohol use, this case study offers a viable blueprint for
large-scale engagement in prevention. Among the featured topics:
Integrating research into prevention strategies using participatory
action research. Breaking down silos between community-based
organizations: coalition development. Adult perspectives on
nurturing youth leadership and coalition participation. Youth
perspectives on youth power as the source of community dev
elopment. Coalition as conclusion: tips on creating a functioning
coalition. Community transformational resilience for adolescent
alcohol prevention. Youth-Community Partnerships for Adolescent
Alcohol Prevention is both practical and inspiring reading for
researchers and other mental health professionals in psychology,
social work, and public health who work with adolescents,
communities, and civic engagement.
