About this title

Synopsis

A text that grew from a research project sponsored by the US Department of Health and Human Services in 1992. The authors provide overviews of nine programs directed towards at-risk youth, including the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Miami, the Oasis Center, Garfield Youth Services, and Teen Connections. Also included are chapters on the history of comprehensive service integration, a new conceptual framework for understanding risk, and a conclusion which reviews the critical ingredients for the development, replication, and expansion of effective youth programs and service integration efforts.
