Preventing Youth Problems provides information needed to prevent
five of the most common, costly, and dangerous problems of
adolescence: anti-social behavior, tobacco use, alcohol and drug
abuse, and sexual behavior that risks disease and unwanted
pregnancy. Over the past thirty years, scientific research on
children and adolescents identified the major conditions
influencing each of these problems.
Each of the chapters in this volume provides a concise summary of
what is known about one of these five problem behaviors. Each
chapter covers the following essential points:
- Incidence, prevalence, and cost of the problem, vital for
gauging the importance of preventing the problem and for making the
case for such efforts in public discussion of priorities;
- Biological and environmental influences which increase or
decrease the likelihood of these problems; and,
- Principles, programs and policies that have been shown to reduce
the incidence of each problem, information that can help in
prevention of these behaviors.
