JG4e.  systems approach to prevention   qh
SN A systems approach to prevention views the community and the environment as interconnected parts, each affecting the other and both needing to work together. Since multiple risk factors are associated with the development of health, mental health, and substance abuse problems, programs aimed at preventing these problems need to include multiple components that target the possible linkage between each risk factor and disorder.

JG10.  individual-level prevention   qh
HN Introduced 2000.
SN Aims to affect individuals' AOD use decisions by effecting change in individuals and their proximal environments, especially their families. Individual prevention has multiple intermediate goals, including changing beliefs or attitudes about AOD, strengthening individual competencies, and restructuring proximal environments, all of which contribute to the ultimate goal of changing behavior, stemming the onset or continuance of AOD use, and reducing the risk for AOD related problems. Although by definition these programs target individuals, they often are delivered in group settings, such as the classroom, the family, or the workplace, or through the media.

ST individual focused prevention approach
individual prevention
JG10.2.4e.  .  .  family-focused prevention   qh
SN Approach that addresses the whole family, parents and children, as a unit; it aims at effecting change in the family to create a family environment that will in turn influence the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of the family members. For example, this approach might include home-based parent-child exercises, school-based parenting skills training, and community-wide activities to involve parents in substance abuse prevention.
SN Targets risk and protective factors specific to the family context as well as interactions between the family and other contexts that may involve the child or have an impact on the child.

JG10.4.2e.  .  .  social marketing prevention approach   qh
SN The design and implementation of programs to influence the social acceptability of a social idea or cause by a group. What is to be changed is the thinking and perceptions of individual members of the group; so the locus of change is the individual.
      Marketing is the planned process of exercising influence on customer behavior. In the case of commercial product marketing, the desired behavior is, of course, the purchase of the product being marketed. Social marketing is more complex, in that the product being promoted is more abstract, such as a change in behavior or belief to effect social change. Social marketing programs can be carried out through groups or organizations such as colleges.

It also provides knowledge and awareness of prevention policies, programs, and services, including awareness of deterrence measures such as *MO6.6.4.2 roadside sobriety check* qh ah.

JG12e.  environmental-level prevention   qh
HN Introduced 2000.
SN Prevention measures aimed at changing the physical and social milieus that regulate exposure to AOD, influencing individuals' AOD related behavior, or mediating the risks that AOD use poses to an individual. Examples are limiting AOD availability, enforcing AOD laws, cleaning up the neighborhood, and making alternate transportation available to intoxicated drivers. This strategy is based on the premise that AOD use is a social behavior heavily influenced by the social structures, norms, and other dimensions of the environment in which people live. Prevention efforts must address the conditions that give rise to problematic AOD use.
      Environmental approaches may generally weaken environmental risk factors and strengthen environmental protective factors, foster changes in the environment designed to persuade people to change their behavior, and address AOD supply and accessibility and thus forestall certain behaviors.

SN Family, school, governmental, community, and media policies -- both formal (such as laws and regulations) and informal (such as values and norms) -- that (1) regulate AOD distribution and use, (2) provide clear and consistent messages regarding AOD use (or sexuality, school achievement, and so forth), and (3) promote social and economic changes that create more opportunities for education, employment, recreation, and self-development and thus eliminate some of the factors that contribute to AOD use.

HN ETOH descriptor 2000.
SN This approach provides opportunities for targeted populations to participate in activities that exclude AOD use. Constructive and healthy activities offset the attraction to, or otherwise meet the needs usually filled by, alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. By providing positive and constructive means for addressing feelings of boredom, frustration, pain, and powerlessness, opportunities for rite-of-passage marking and having fun, alternative activities can help diminish health-risk behaviors such as AOD use. These activities can also strengthen protective factors by enhancing bonding with communities, school, or groups and teaching new interpersonal and vocational skills.

Examples include working with parents to influence children or working with a household in which adult children serve as caregivers for disabled parents to help caregivers to manage stress, to help ease tensions that might develop in the relationship, and to address AODU risks of the parent. As another example, the Prenatal/Early Infancy Project has clearly shown that positive outcomes can be secured for both infants and their mothers from a single comprehensive interaction.

HN ETOH descriptor 2000.
SN Includes: (1) Mass examination of a population or subpopulation (e.g., pregnant women) to detect the existence of a particular disease or disorder, including AODU, and (2) Tests or measurements for the presence of particular substances of abuse in individuals.
      This section deals with the administrative and programmatic (e.g., implementation) aspects of identification and screening. For specific methods see *+HA screening and diagnostic method* qh ah.
      Note: Screening is the preliminary identification of a disease or defect by means of tests, examinations, or other procedures that can be applied rapidly. Diagnosis is the definitive determination of the nature or identity of a disease, typically based on an analysis of signs and symptoms, the patient's medical history, and often on the results of laboratory tests. Screening and diagnosis often employ similar methods.

JJeintervention (persuasion to treatment)   d-out   qh
HN Changed descriptor 2000; through 1999 use "intervention."
SN Intervention is a general term with many meanings. It is used here with the specific meaning of communicating with an individual (or a family as a unit) in order to persuade him or her to recognize an existing disorder and seek treatment or to recognize the risk of a disorder and take preventive measures and to develop new, healthier ways of coping with his or her needs and problems. Intervention can come from family members, friends, supervisors or colleagues (as in an *JF10.6.2 Employee Assistance Program* qh ah), teachers or school counselors (as in a *JF10.10.2 Student Assistance Program* qh ah), clergy, physicians, or judges (who may order treatment). Such intervention is often reactive and is delayed until a crisis occurs.
      The impact of an intervention is in its ability to surface and present the crises in the sick person's life to a point where the person chooses treatment.
      Note: *+JM8.2 brief intervention* qh ah designates a level of treatment.

SN Problems in the social environment that inhibit the success of prevention efforts. For example, the existence of different adolescent subcultures may mean that certain individuals are unable to find a group with which to associate, which may in turn predispose these individuals to AOD use and make them less receptive to prevention messages. Another example is the existence of values and norms in a subculture that are contrary to prevention messages.
