Manuscripts Corresponding to Goals and Objectives

To expand the evidence base on the efficacy and effectiveness of prevention and health promotion interventions for youth, adults, and families, particularly universal interventions. This goal includes examination of outcome mediating mechanisms relevant to theory development, outcome moderators, economic benefits, and cultural adaptations.

–        Reduction of adolescent substance use/problem behaviors and positive academic outcomes:
(PF#s 41, 42, 44, 47, 48, 50, 51, 56, 57, 60, 61, 65, 67, 76, 83, 86, 88, 91, 92, 96, 97, 106, 107, 115, 124).

–        Enhancement of protective factors and reduction of risk factors:
(PF#s 9, 10, 16, 19, 22, 26, 28, 31, 32, 34, 43, 64, 90).

–        Interventions/intervention research with minority/special populations:
(PF#s 17, 48, 54, 57, 60, 61, 67, 68, 75, 77-79, 85, 89, 102, 108, 110).

–        Refinement of intervention theory and research methods:
(PF#s 5, 7, 14, 17, 18, 21, 24‑27, 29, 36‑37, 39, 40, 42, 49, 51, 59, 68‑72, 74, 80, 81, 83, 84, 92-95, 98‑101, 105, 114).

–        Evaluation of intervention cost-effectiveness and cost-benefits:
(PF#s 58, 67).

To evaluate engagement of youth, adults, and families in evidence-based prevention and health promotion interventions or related projects:
(PF#s 1‑4, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 30, 33, 35, 38, 46, 53, 55, 61, 64, 66, 73, 82, 111, 113).

To evaluate community-university partnership approaches to dissemination of evidence-based prevention and health promotion interventions, including factors in quality implementation, sustainability, and diffusion:

–        Strategies for community-university collaborations in the diffusion of evidence-based interventions assisted by university Extension:
(PF#s 17, 18, 23, 45, 47, 48, 52, 62, 63, 66, 67, 76, 87, 89, 103, 104, 109, 112, 116, 117).

–     Quality of implementation and implementation-outcome relationships:
(PF#s 26, 44, 61, 64‑67).

–        Intervention needs assessments through probability sample surveys addressing family-related risks, protective factors, and substance-related problems:
(PF#s 12, 13, 37, 54).
