Document Summary
A comprehensive prevention, early intervention and treatment framework. What serves as treatment for one problem sometimes serves as prevention for a more advanced problem (ex. Quitting smoking stops that problem, prevents other drug use) As risk factors such as class, economic conditions and stressors, increase without protective factors (buffers) also increasing, the child is more likely to be at imminent risk. Protective factors can be individual (intelligence), family (attachment), community (programs), and linkages between these. Programs would be expensive but could save the government money in the long run (residential treatment, incarceration, welfare, property damage, etc) 1960s drug prevention included scare tactics, moralizing and inaccurate information; emphasis on drugs and not why people used them, led to higher rates of drug use. 1970s prevention addressed personal and social factors correlating with drug use, educational efforts to eliminate reasons for using drugs, targeted self esteem. 1980s prevention emphasized behavioral strategies, social skills and coping, life skills.
