A community-wide initiative for the benefit of your community’s youth. The system:
• provides strategic consultation, training and research-based tools
• promotes the positive development of children and youth
• prevents adolescent problem behaviors—including substance abuse, delinquency, teen pregnancy, dropping out of school and violence.
Training of Coordinators 2-4
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
The system is:
• inclusive
• proactive
• grounded in rigorous research from a variety of fields
• customized to a community.

• Research-based predictors of problem behaviors and positive youth outcomes—risk and protective factors
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
Research has identified risk factors in four domains:
Risk factors are predictive of higher levels of adolescent substance abuse, delinquency, teen pregnancy, school drop-out and violence.
Risk factors
Training of Coordinators 2-17
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
• Research-based
• Predictive in multiple longitudinal studies
• Present in all areas of influence
• Predictive of multiple problem behaviors
• Present throughout development
• Work similarly across racial lines
• Measurable
• Buffered by protective factorsTraining of Coordinators 2-18

Media portrayals of violence
Availability of drugs
Availability of firearms

Research has identified protective factors in four domains:
Protective factorsbuffer young people’s exposure to risk.
Protective factors
Training of Coordinators 2-23
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
• Research-based
• Present in all areas of influence
• Measurable
• Predictive of positive youth development
• Present throughout development
• Buffer effects of risk exposure
Training of Coordinators 2-24
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
• Individual factors
• High intelligence
• Resilient temperament
• Prosocial orientation
• Competencies and skills
• Prosocial opportunities
• Reinforcement for prosocial involvement
• Bonding
• Healthy beliefs and clear standards
Training of Coordinators 2-25
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
• Risk and protective factors exist in all areas of children’s lives.
• The more risk factors present, the greater the chances of problem behavior.
• Risk and protective factors can be present throughout development.
• Risk factors are buffered by protective factors.
Training of Coordinators 2-26
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
• Common risk and protective factors predict multiple behavior problems.
• Risk and protective factors work similarly across racial lines.
• Both risk and protective factors should be addressed in prevention efforts.
Training of Coordinators 2-27
1-2Training of Process Facilitators
• Turn to the Risk- and Protective-Factor Worksheet.
• Choose one risk factor from each of the four domains of influence. Explain why these risk factors would be good examples to use when explaining risk factors to your constituent group.
• Choose one protective factor that will provide the best example to your constituent group. Explain why this protective factor would be a good example to use.
• Develop an explanation of risk and protective factors.
• Present your risk- and protective-factor explanation.

• Turn to the Presentation Worksheet.
• Answer question 1 on the Presentation Worksheet by summarizing the SDS, the public health approach and risk and protective factors.
• Prepare a presentation to your constituent group in question 2.
• Share your presentation with other participants.
• Note what worked and what didn’t in your presentation.

1-2Training of Process Facilitators
• Assessing community levels of risk and protection.
• Prioritizing elevated risks and depressed protective factors.
• Including individuals and groups exposed to the highest levels of risk and the lowest levels of protection.
• Matching tested, effective programs to the community’s risk and protection profile.
• Selecting tested, effective programs that address the racial, economic and cultural characteristics of the community.
• Implementing chosen programs, policies and practices with fidelity and intensity at the appropriate ages.
