Prevention Exam/study Guide #2

The question asks about different addiction models, and the correct answer provides a comprehensive list of various models. The three incorrect answers provided - Economic model, Relational model, and Technological model - do not align with established addiction models and are hence incorrect choices.

The incorrect answers do not align with the key aspects of theoretical principles related to substance abuse mentioned in the correct answer. The correct answer focuses on identifying factors, explaining mechanisms, predicting points of interruption, and specifying interventions.

Predictive theory is based on the idea that certain conditions or factors can lead to predictable outcomes. It is not based on randomness, personal opinions, or predetermined outcomes.

The correct answer highlights a set of interconnected risk factors that contribute to multiple societal challenges faced by adolescents. The incorrect answers either misinterpret the question or provide irrelevant information.

Protective factors are factors that help to reduce the likelihood of negative outcomes by countering risk factors. The more protective factors present, the less overall risk. These factors are categorized into three main categories: individual, bonding, and healthy beliefs and clear standards.

The social development strategy model focuses on individual characteristics, bonding, healthy beliefs, and clear standards as key elements for prevention.

Hawkins and Catalano conducted a comprehensive review of existing research in the field of youth substance abuse and delinquency to identify risk factors using a specific theory/model.

Risk factors can have a wide impact across different areas of life, and the more risk factors present, the higher the overall risk. Additionally, common risk factors can predict various problematic behaviors, and these factors tend to affect individuals regardless of race or culture. Protective factors can help mitigate the effects of risks.

Emmy Werner's research focuses on specific environmental factors that contribute to resiliency in children, such as family dynamics, support networks, and community connections. Factors like weather conditions, favorite color, and shoe brand are not mentioned in her findings.

The correct answer includes suggestions to improve relationships with the community, retain important programs, ensure continuity in teacher-student relationships, and reduce class sizes for better learning environments.

Developmental Assets refer to a specific set of strategies or assets that contribute to the positive development and well-being of youth. These assets are categorized into external and internal assets and are designed to help youth thrive and avoid risks.

While constructive use of time is important for young people, it is not specifically mentioned as one of the factors that guide them to behave in healthy ways and make wise choices in the context of external assets.

Internal asset refers to the internal characteristics and beliefs that young people develop within themselves, such as commitments, values, competencies, and self perceptions, rather than external factors or genetic traits.

The correct strategies for community substance abuse prevention involve information dissemination, prevention education, alternative activities, community-based processes, environmental approaches, and problem identification and referral. Strategies such as increasing drug availability, encouraging substance abuse, or implementing harsher penalties are counterproductive and not effective in prevention.

In program planning, it is essential to involve the community, assess risk factors, and protective factors, and thoroughly examine resources before selection and implementation.

The term 'Universal' in the context of addressing substance abuse refers to efforts that target the entire population with prevention programs and messages aimed at addressing the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.

Indicated prevention strategies target individuals who are at risk of developing substance abuse issues based on early signs, but do not necessarily meet the criteria for addiction yet.

The Social development strategy model focuses on prevention strategies related to individual characteristics, bonding, healthy beliefs, and clear standards.

A logic model typically includes goals, strategies, target group, if then statement, short-term outcomes, and long-term impact as key components.

The correct answer shows a conditional relationship between knowing about programs and increased likelihood of participation, as well as between participation and reduced likelihood of using ATOD. The incorrect answers do not accurately reflect this conditional relationship.

In forming a new community coalition, it is important to have a clear purpose and goal, invite a diverse group of members, establish expectations, create a mission statement, and define specific goals and objectives. Starting without a clear purpose, keeping the coalition exclusive, or avoiding a mission statement can hinder the effectiveness of the coalition.

The correct answer includes perspectives that focus on identifying risk and protective factors, promoting resiliency, and enhancing development assets.
