Recent research has suggested the importance of understanding for whom programs are most effective (Supplee et al., 2013) and that multidimensional profiles of risk and protective factors may moderate the effectiveness of programs (Lanza & Rhoades, 2012). For school-based prevention programs, moderators of program effectiveness may occur at…

von Eye, Alexander; Wiedermann, Wolfgang; Herman, Keith C.; Reinke, Wendy – Prevention Science, 2023
In standard statistical data analysis, the effects of intervention or prevention efforts are evaluated in terms of variable relations. Results from application of regression-type methods suggest whether, overall, intervention is successful. In this article, we propose using configural frequency analysis (CFA) either in tandem with regression-type…

Doty, Jennifer L.; Girón, Karla; Mehari, Krista R.; Sharma, Drishti; Smith, Sarah J.; Su, Yi-Wen; Ma, Xiaoqi; Rijo, Diana; Rousso, Bailee – Prevention Science, 2022
Past reviews of cyberbullying preventative interventions have critiqued the field regarding scientific rigor, and a meta-analysis found that randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of such interventions were more effective than non-RCTs. However, no review has examined the risk of bias, dosage, modality, and delivery context of such programs to date.…

Preventing young people's cigarette smoking is a major public health priority, and smoking is especially prevalent in vocational schools. Well-enforced comprehensive school tobacco policies accompanied by preventive efforts show potential to reduce smoking, but the implementation process is crucial to achieve the intended effect.

Seidman, Samuel; Connell, Arin; Stormshak, Elizabeth; Westling, Erika; Ha, Thao; Shaw, Daniel – Prevention Science, 2023
Maternal depression is a well-established risk factor for the development of depression in offspring. As such, reducing maternal depression may be key to effective prevention efforts to reduce offspring's depression. Based on the broad risk represented by maternal depression, examining cross-over effects of parent-focused interventions on maternal…

Walsh, Eibhlin H.; Herring, Matthew P.; McMahon, Jennifer – Prevention Science, 2023
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among adolescents, globally. Though post-primary, school-based suicide prevention (PSSP) has the potential to be a key strategy for preventing adolescent suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STBs), there are persisting challenges to translating PSSP research to practice. Intervention and contextual factors…
