Family Processes and Evidence-Based Prevention

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Prevention of Substance Use

Part of the book series: Advances in Prevention Science ((Adv. Prevention Science))

Abstract

The primary goal of this chapter is to provide a brief overview of family-based prevention science. We adopt a developmental perspective, highlighting aspects of basic, family, and applied developmental sciences from birth through adolescence. We illustrate distinct family and parenting practices at different developmental stages and focus our attention on family processes associated with substance use and interventions designed to alter them. Our aims are to (1) review aspects of family functioning and parenting practices that serve as risk or protective processes for healthy youth development and as targets for family-based preventive interventions, (2) review evidence supporting the efficacy of family-based prevention programs for reducing substance use, (3) briefly illustrate exemplary family-based interventions, and (4) highlight some key challenges to effective implementation or testing of these programs and provide some directions for future research.
