"Preventing mental disorders in school-aged children": Commentary.
Battistich, Victor
Prevention & Treatment. 2001 Mar Vol 4(1)
Posted 3/30/2001. This commentary on M. Greenberg, C. Domitrovich, and B. Baumbarger's (2001) review elaborates on several issues: (a) the importance of multiyear, primary prevention programs that target a range of developmental outcomes; (b) the general neglect of contextual influences on development in prevention theory and programs; (c) the need to broaden the range of outcome variables examined in program evaluations; (d) the importance of targeting core competencies in preventive interventions; and (e) the need to carefully assess program implementation during both demonstration trials and program dissemination.
