• Sommario/riassunto: The authors trace the history and evolution of school, family, and community approaches to preventing child and adolescent problem behaviour. Empirical evidence pertaining to the prevention of substance abuse, juvenile delinquency, violence, and school dropout is reviewed.

Practice, policy, and education efforts necessary to advance prevention in school, family, and community settings are delineated.
