Mental health and substance use disorders among children, youth,
and young adults are major threats to the health and well-being of
younger populations which often carryover into adulthood. The costs
of treatment for mental health and addictive disorders, which
create an enormous burden on the affected individuals, their
families, and society, have stimulated increasing interest in
prevention practices that can impede the onset or reduce the
severity of the disorders. Prevention practices have emerged in a
variety of settings, including programs for selected at-risk
populations (such as children and youth in the child welfare
system), school-based interventions, interventions in primary care
settings, and community services designed to address a broad array
of mental health needs and populations. Preventing Mental,
Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People updates a
1994 Institute of Medicine book, Reducing Risks for Mental
Disorders, focusing special attention on the research base and
program experience with younger populations that have emerged since
that time. Researchers, such as those involved in prevention
science, mental health, education, substance abuse, juvenile
justice, health, child and youth development, as well as policy
makers involved in state and local mental health, substance abuse,
welfare, education, and justice will depend on this updated
information on the status of research and suggested directions for
the field of mental health and prevention of disorders. Table of
