About this Item
Description:
Paperback. This special issue of "Applied Developmental Science" explores the topic of prevention as altering the course of development. Areas addressed include: the complementary purposes of developmental and prevention sciences; assessing the effects of preventive intervention on the trajectories of delinquency and testing for mediational processes; three-year iatrogenic effects associated with aggregating high-risk adolescents in cognitive-behavioural preventive interventions; long-term effects of the Seattle Social Development Intervention on school bonding trajectories; and more. The contributors include F. Vitaro, M. Brendgen, F. Poulin, D. Hawkins, J. Guo, K. Hill and R. Lerner. This special issue includes four empirical papers that used growth modeling techniques (hierarchical linear modeling, latent growth curve analyses) to examine direct and indirect effects of theory-based, longitudinal prevention experiments on developmental trajectories of children's and adolescents' substance use, delinquency, and school bonding.

Synopsis:
Prevention and developmental sciences have many complementary goals and much to gain by collaboration. With random assignment to conditions and long-term multivariate follow-up of individuals across significant years in the life span, fundamental basic and applied research questions can now be addressed using new statistical methods. This special issue includes four empirical papers that used growth modeling techniques (hierarchical linear modeling, latent growth curve analyses) to examine direct and indirect effects of theory-based, longitudinal prevention experiments on developmental trajectories of children's and adolescents' substance use, delinquency, and school bonding.
