Method: Data came...
This study constitutes a building block in the cultural adaptation of Communities That Care (CTC), community‐based prevention system that has been found to be effective reducing youth problem behaviors. Using data from CTC normative survey dataset comprises more than quarter million nationwide, this examines reliability and validity scores derived Youth Survey (CTC‐YS), one primary assessment tools for gathering community on risk protective factors related behaviors including substance use....

Observed parenting practices and family socioeconomic status were tested potential explanatory mechanisms these links.

Objective: Guided by a domain-specific cumulative risk model and an emerging notion of general alcohol-specific influences, this study examined whether influences from family, peer, school contexts in childhood adolescence differentially predict heavy episodic drinking alcohol use disorder at two developmental periods: the transition to adulthood (age 21) later 33). Method: Data are longitudinal panel (n = 808) examining etiology substance problems associated behavior age 10 33 Northwest...
This study investigated potential heterogeneity in development among offspring (age 17) of teen mothers and maternal life course as correlates variation. Using latent class analysis, subgroups developmental outcomes were identified. Maternal standing two realms (i.e., socioeconomic domestic) was considered a explanation for offspring's development. Offspring reported on measures assessing their psychological, academic, behavioral Teen realms. Three identified: track (52%), at risk (37%),...
Community-based coalitions seek to distribute leadership and decision-making broadly among participants build capacity for improving local conditions. This is often difficult achieve, however, due a variety of structural contextual factors. study examines variance in influence 40 county-level substance abuse prevention coalitions.
