Title: Placing Prevention into the Context of School Improvement

Description: This chapter places primary prevention along with the promotion of healthy development at one end of a full continuum of interventions, with each level of the continuum conceived as an integrated system. Then, the continuum is placed into the context of school improvement and explored in terms of a comprehensive, multi-faceted component designed to ensure all youngsters have an equal opportunity to succeed at school. Throughout the chapter, implications are discussed with respect to policy, research, practice, and training, including some general ramifications for systemic change.
