2. Delays the onset of a problem behavior
3. Reduces the impact of an existing problem behavior
4. Strengthens knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that promote emotional and physical well-

True or false? - Answers True
Problem behaviors exist along a continuum as well as risk. True or false? - Answers True
What factors contribute to risk? - Answers Demographic characteristics, such as 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 ___________________________________ . - Answers
imminent risk
_____________________ factors serve to buffer or protect young people who might otherwise be at
greater risk. - 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? - 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? - 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. -
, Answers minimal
The Approach Continuum consists of universal approaches, selected approaches, booster
sessions, indicated approaches, and second-chance approaches. True or false? - 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. - 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.
- 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. - 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 people whose underlying characteristics, problems, and behaviors are
associated directly with at-risk activity. - Answers Indicated
___________________ approaches are interventions that are needed for those children and
adolescents who are already engaging in substance use, have dropped out, have become
pregnant, or are engaging in violent and aggressive behaviors. - Answers Second chance
The universal, selected, indicated, and second-chance approaches address in sequential order,
those risk factors that are the most salient contributors to young people's problems. True or
false? - Answers True
Prevention, early intervention, and treatment programs also form a continuum. Conceptually,
these three terms are closely aligned with the four-decade-old formulation of primary,
secondary, and tertiary prevention. Caplan used these terms to describe what efforts? - Answers
1. reducing the incidence of mental disorders of all types in a community (primary prevention)
2. the duration of a significant number of those disorders which do occur (secondary
prevention).
3. the impairment which may result from disorders (tertiary prevention)
