  • 2. Primary Prevention Mental Health Programs for Children and Adolescents: A Meta-Analytic Review
    Primary prevention is not a new idea.
    Although interest in primary prevention has been present in this country, translating this interest into effective action is more difficult.
    It is not know exactly how or when currently healthy children eventually develop specific psychological problems, making it difficult to plan interventions to prevent future specific dysfunctions.

    It is important to document that the intervention has an immediate positive impact.

    An enhancement model assumes that as individual become more capable and competent, their psychological well-being improves and thus they are better able to withstand or deal with the factors or influences that lead the maladjustment.

    Important issue is the relationship between health promotion and levels of maladjustment.
    Primary prevention in mental health may be defined as intervention intentionally designed to reduce the future incidence of adjustment problems in currently normal population as well as efforts direct at the promotion of mental health functioning.
  • 6. Conceptualizations of Primary Prevention Programs

    • The level of the intervention.
    • 7. And the way population are selected for intervention.
