Who We Are

Welcome to the home of The Prevention Researcher, a multidisciplinary journal focusing on successful adolescent development and at-risk youth. Established in 1994, the unique single-theme format provides in-depth analysis and examines exemplary prevention programs and strategies.

Founded by Dr. Steven Ungerleider, The Prevention Researcher began as a tool to more effectively bridge the gaps between science and service. While conducting his own research on alcohol consumption, Steven realized that often times valuable research languished in academic journals unused by those who could use it most. Seeing an opportunity to increase the efficiency of the process to get research, resources, and information into the field more quickly, he created The Prevention Researcher.

The Prevention Researcher is a quarterly journal that uses a straightforward and easy-to-read approach to present the most current research and developments in adolescent behavioral research. In addition to cutting-edge, evidence-based research it also examines exemplary prevention programs and strategies that can help youth workers see which of today's best practices are most successful. Whether you work directly or indirectly with youth, The Prevention Researcher is a necessity for any professional looking to stay current on today's youth. No matter if it's planning, training, educating, or grant writing, The Prevention Researcher is your source for research and information that can be quickly and easily understood and rapidly turned into action.
