This seventh book in the Prevention Practice Kit illustrates how
carefully constructed programs are involved with reaching
prevention goals. Using examples and drawing from a clearly
presented framework, this book helps readers easily translate
concepts of program development and evaluation (PD&E) into
doable, practical steps. This book is guided by five tenets:
Prevention occurs through programs applied early. A program is
comprised of interrelated elements existing within an open system.
PD&E involves cyclical phases of planning, implementation and
effects, while being infused by the processes of community,
collaboration, and cultural relevance. Conducting prevention
PD&E relies on both technical and people skills. Effective
programs depend on sound processes that are guided by an overall
10-step PD&E in Prevention Model, which include planning the
program, implementing process evaluation, and evaluating output.
This book is part of the Prevention Practice Kit: Action Guides for
Mental Health, a collection of eight books each authored by
scholars in the specific field of prevention and edited by Dr.
Robert K. Conyne and Dr. Arthur M. Horne. The books in the
collection conform to the editors' outline to promote a consistent
reading experience. Designed to provide human services
practitioners, counselors, psychologists, social workers,
instructors, and students with concrete direction for spreading and
improving the practice of prevention, the series provides thorough
coverage of prevention application including a general overview of
prevention, best practices, diversity and cultural relevance,
psychoeducational groups, consultation, program development and
evaluation, evidence base, and public policy. This book is endorsed
by the Prevention Section of the Society of Counseling Psychology
of the American Psychological Association. Fifty percent of all
royalties are donated to Division 17 of the APA.
