Over the last three decades, researchers have made remarkable
progress in creating and testing family-focused programs aimed at
fostering the cognitive, affective, and behavioral health of
children. These programs include universal interventions, such as
those for expecting or new parents, and workshops for families
whose children are entering adolescence, as well as programs
targeted to especially challenged parents, such as low-income
single teens about to have their first babies, or the parents of
children with autism. Some family-focused programs have been shown
to foster significantly better outcomes in children, including
enhanced educational performance, and reduced rates of teen
pregnancy, substance abuse, and child conduct and delinquency, as
well as reduced child abuse. The favorable cost-benefit ratios of
some of these programs are due, in part, to the multiple and
far-ranging effects that family-focused prevention programs
targeting children can have. Other family-focused programs have
shown success in smaller academic studies but have not been widely
applied, or have not worked as effectively or failed when applied
to more diverse real-world settings. Strategies for Scaling
Effective Family-Focused Preventive Interventions to Promote
Children's Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Health is the
summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine Forum
on Promoting Children's Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Health
to explore effective preventive interventions for youth that can
modify risk and promote protective factors that are linked to
mental, emotional, and behavioral health, and how to apply this
existing knowledge. Based on the 2009 report Preventing Mental,
Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People, this report
considers how to build a stronger research and practice base around
the development and implementation of programs, practices, and
policies that foster children's health and well-being across the
country, while engaging multi-sectorial stakeholders. While
research has advanced understanding of risk, promotive, and
protective factors in families that influence the health and
well-being of youth, a challenge remains to provide family-focused
interventions across child and adolescent development at sufficient
scale and reach to significantly reduce the incidence and
prevalence of negative cognitive, affective, and behavioral
outcomes in children and adolescents nationwide, as well as to
develop widespread demand for effective programs by end users. This
report explores new and innovative ways to broaden the reach and
demand for effective programs and to generate alternative paradigms
for strengthening families. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
