For this project, imagine that youare a developmental psychopathologist. You have a great interest in preventing youth psychopathology, and you aimto do so by ensuring thatprevention programs are widelyimplementedin practice and/or policy (i.e., you are not designing a research project, but rather you are telling others why prevention has value and how to use an existing prevention program). In order to do this, you will: (1)choose an evidence-based prevention program from the Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development’s registry of experimentally proven programs or Penn State’s Evidence-based Prevention and Intervention Support Center and(2)write about the program, why it is an effective prevention program, and how it can readily be translated into practice and/or policy. (Note: Be sure to choose a prevention program, not an intervention program, for this project. Blueprints and EPISCenter programs are clearly labeled as either prevention or intervention.)
