Abstract(s)
This chapter reviews the application of treatment methods in prevention, with an emphasis on familybased
substance abuse, delinquency, and child maltreatment. The goal of prevention is to increase
resilience in high-risk children. Considerable overlap exists between evidence-based prevention and
treatment interventions, including their etiological and intervention theories, cognitive behavioral
change methods and outcome objectives. Also included is the Institute of Medicinespectrum of
treatment disorders, a review of prevention and treatment intervention theories, and methods used to
design effective family interventions, with an emphasis on family systems, social ecology and resilience
theories including the author’s Transactional Framework of Resilience model and the Strengthening
Families Program. Lastly, this chapter covers the applications of clinical techniques to improve resilience
characteristics and processes and places evidence-based prevention programs methods within this
framework and details their similarity to treatment. Digital technology (e.g., DVDs, Web, smart phones,
television, etc.) is recommended to reduce intervention costs and “go-to-scale” to have a greater
public health impact in promoting resilience in children.
