social class and economic conditions, family, community, and school stressors; and personal
characteristics, attitudes and behaviors.
As risk factors increase without a concurrent increase in protective factors, children and adolescents
become increasingly likely to be at ___________________________________ . - CORRECT
ANSWERS imminent risk
_____________________ factors serve to buffer or protect young people who might otherwise be at
greater risk. - CORRECT ANSWERS Protective
, Individual protective factors include but are not limited to social skills and intelligence, familial factors
include authoritative parenting and strong attachments between parents and children, community factors
include accessible resources such as social and medical services and parks, as well as strong linkages
between family and community. True or false? - CORRECT ANSWERS True
Prevention efforts that support and maximize protective factors while reducing risk factors are more likely
to be successful. Is this true or false? - CORRECT ANSWERS True
Problems faced by young people are conceptualized as following a continuum from ________________
risk to actual participation in an activity in one of the at-risk categories. - CORRECT
ANSWERS minimal
The Approach Continuum consists of universal approaches, selected approaches, booster sessions,
indicated approaches, and second-chance approaches. True or false? - CORRECT ANSWERS True
A __________________ approach is the most appropriate type of intervention when a child exhibits
minimal or remote risk. These strategies are considered to be appropriate for all children, not just those
who are presumed to be at risk. In these approaches, the intent is to maintain or increase the educational
achievement, prosocial coping skills, and mental health of large numbers of children. - CORRECT
ANSWERS universal
_________________________ approaches are aimed at groups of young people who share some
circumstance or experience that increases the probability that they will develop problems in the future.
(Eg: children from low-income families who qualify for a HeadStart Program.) Individual or group
counseling or school support programs are very useful interventions for these students. - CORRECT
ANSWERS Selected
_________________________ are used to maintain the effects of the initial intervention. Usually,
programs with these boost support over the initial intervention and are more likely to achieve positive
long-term results. - CORRECT ANSWERS Booster sessions
_____________________ approaches are for individuals who are at imminent risk for problem behavior
or who have actually begun to engage in the behavior. These approaches must be developed for young
