Abstract:

This article highlights the authors’ research, which began over 15 years ago with the creation of the Adolescent Coping Scale. The Adolescent Coping Scale was based on the descriptions of thousands of youth about how they cope. Following the creation of the Scale, two coping programs for adolescent-aged youth were developed. This article briefly describes those scales (“Best of Coping” and “Coping for Success”), and then discusses evaluations of these programs for youth who are low in resources.
