EPIDEMIOLOGY ETIOLOGY EFFICACY EFFECTIVENESS DISSEMINATION 2. With an emphasis on risk and protective factors, review relevant information-both from fields outside prevention and from existing preventive intervention research programs 3. Design, conduct, and analyze pilot studies and confirmatory and replication trials of the preventive intervention program 4. Design, conduct, and analyze large-scale field trials of the preventive intervention program 5. Facilitate large-scale implementation and ongoing evaluation of the preventive intervention program in the community. 1. Identify problem or disorder(s) and review information to determine its extent The preventive intervention research cycle. Preventive intervention research is represented in boxes three and four. Note that although information from many different fields in health research, represented in the first and second boxes, is necessary to the cycle depicted here, it is the review of the information, rather than the original studies, that is considered to be part of the preventive intervention research cycle. Likewise, for the fifth box, it is the facilitation by the investigator of the shift from research project to community service program with ongoing evaluation, rather than the service program itself, that is part of the preventive intervention research cycle. Although only one feedback loop is represented here, the exchange of knowledge among researchers and between researchers and community practitioners occurs throughout the cycle.
Generalizations AboutRisk and Protective Factors • Risk & protective factors are found in many domains • The more risk factors present, the greater likelihood of problem behaviors, and the less likelihood of successful outcomes • Protective factors reduce effects of exposure to risk -- the greater the level of protection, the less likelihood of problem behaviors • Common risk & protective factors predict diverse behavior outcomes • Risk & protective factors show much consistency in effects across different races & cultures

Results of regression analysis estimating the association between childhood maltreatment (between the ages of 3 and 11 years) and adult depression (ages 18 to 26), as a function of 5-HTT genotype. Among the 147s/s homozygotes, 92 (63%), 39 (27%), and 16 (11%) study members were in the no maltreatment, probable maltreatment, and severe maltreatment groups, respectively. Among the 435 s/l heterozygotes, 286 (66%), 116 (27%), and 33 (8%) were in the no, probable, and severe maltreatment groups. Among the 265 l/l homozygotes, 172 (65%), 69 (26%), and 24 (9%) were in the no, probable, and severe maltreatment groups. The main effect of 5-HTTLPR was not significant (b _ –0.14, SE _ 0.11, z _ 1.33, P _ 0.19), the main effect of childhood maltreatment was significant (b _ 0.30, SE _ 0.10, z _ 3.04, P _ 0.002), and the G _ E interaction was in the predicted direction (b _ –0.33, SE _ 0.16, z _ 2.01, P _ 0.05). The interaction showed that childhood stress predicted adult depression only among individuals carrying an s allele (b _ 0.60, SE _ 0.26, z _ 2.31, P _ 0.02 among s/s homozygotes, and b _ 0.45, SE _ 0.16, z _ 2.83, P _ 0.01 among s/l heterozyotes) and not among l/l homozygotes Caspi, et. al.

Prevention Principles • Include those at greatest risk, lowest protection • Target individuals exposed to high levels of risk, low levels of protection • Target community areas exposed to high levels of risk, low levels of protection • Use data to prioritize risk and protective factors • Use approaches that demonstrate effects on prioritized factors • Address risk and protective factors at appropriate developmental stage • Intervene early • Address the racial, cultural, and economic diversity of your community
Principles for Culturally Competent Prevention Science • Include multiple groups in studies.

Principles for Culturally Competent Prevention Science • Include multiple groups in studies. • Compare prevalences and rates of positive and problem behaviors and outcomes.
Principles for Culturally Competent Prevention Science • Include multiple groups in studies. • Compare prevalences and rates of positive and problem behaviors and outcomes. • Include measures of ethnic identify or acculturation to understand degree to which group differences reflect culture. • Examine levels of risk and protection exposure in different groups.
Principles for Culturally Competent Prevention Science • Examine the strength of risk and protective factors in different groups after controlling for socioeconomic status.

Principles for Culturally Competent Prevention Science • Examine the strength of risk and protective factors in different groups after controlling for socioeconomic status. • Use engagement approaches that effectively involve the focal audience. • Use communication strategies that effectively communicate with the focal audience.
Ethnic disparities in educational attainment • Persistent disparity in educational attainment between African Americans and European Americans (Jencks & Phillips, 1998) • African Americans are about 50% less likely to earn a bachelor’s degree by age twenty-nine compared to White individuals (Haycock, 2001; US Census data)
Explanations for the existence of this inequality – Socioeconomic Status • differences in family socioeconomic status (Bond, 1981; Tate, 1997) • while differences in SES seem to account for a proportion of the gap… • large racial differences remain even after standard measures of family background are controlled (Wilson, 1998) • other factors may be contributing to ethnic differences in academic attainment

The consequences of high school drug use on academic attainment were worse for African Americans. • The consequences of high school drug use on academic attainment were not significant for Asian Americans.
Prevention Implications • Preventive interventions reducing adolescent drug use may have long-term benefits of greater educational attainment in adulthood. • These benefits may be especially strong for African Americans.
