This module is intended for practitioners who care for children, adolescents, and/or young adults and are interested in learning (1) ways to prevent social, behavioral, and mental problems in these populations before they start and (2) research findings related to risk factors and protective factors regarding positive development. Suitable for novice through advanced learners. 

Learner Outcomes

After completing this module, learners should be able to:

  • Name three risk factors that predict problem behavior in children and adolescents and impede positive development and three protective factors that buffer risks and can improve various health outcomes.
  • Describe the three main ways, identified through research, to facilitate the building of positive bonds by young people. 
  • Explain whether evidence-based preventive interventions given in childhood can also have positive effects into the person’s adulthood and across generations. 
  • Describe how to find prevention approaches that have been tested, found to work, and could match the needs of a local community or other target audience.
