Summary
"Prevention examines programs targeting eight of today's most pressing problems that affect infants, children, and youth. Through thorough, multifaceted explorations of successful programs, readers will see the interplay between the science of research and the art of practice - and appreciate the profound difference prevention efforts can make in the lives of children and families. Based on more than a decade of research and best practices, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone who has a part in shaping the future of intervention and prevention programs."--Jacket.
