About the Journal

Successful adolescent development, one issue at a time.

The Prevention Researcher keeps professionals up-to-date on the latest adolescent behavioral research and today’s best practices in working with youth.

Each issue of the quarterly journal features a single topic, presenting current research in a straightforward way that is easily understood and turned into action. Articles are written by authors who lead in their respective fields and whose research covers the latest findings on significant issues facing today’s youth.

The Prevention Researcher provides information about programs that create supportive environments for youth, strategies for preventing problems affecting adolescents, and resources that help youth-serving professionals working in a variety of settings. Major topics covered in the journal include adolescent development, mental health, victimization and violence, and schools, families, and communities.

Real promise. Real success.

The Prevention Researcher holds a vision of a world in which all youth feel supported in their transition to adulthood and every adult is capable of providing positive support for young people and their families – a vision of a society committed to providing a healthy environment for all adolescents.
