The 1997 Monitoring the Future Study reported that one quarter of all 8th graders indicated that they had ever been drunk, this figure rose to almost half of all 10th graders, and two-thirds of all 12th graders. In the past 30-days, almost 20% of the 8th graders reported smoking, this rose to one-third of the seniors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that as many as 25% of the estimated 40,000 new cases of HIV infection that occur in the U.S. each year may be among young people under the age of 22. How does a community stop these and other "at-risk youth" problems? The Spring 1998 issue of The Prevention Researcher focuses on Community-based Prevention Models.
