  1. A Common Language Prevention: Interventions that occur prior to the onset of a disorder that are intended to prevent or reduce risk for the disorder. Preventing MEB Disorders, 2009

  2. A Common Language Risk Factor: A characteristic at the biological, psychological, family, community or cultural level that precedes and is associated with a higher likelihood of problem outcomes. Preventing MEB Disorders, 2009

  3. A Common Language Resilience: the ability to recover from or adapt to adverse events, life changes and life stressors. Preventing MEB Disorders, 2009

  4. A Common Language Protective Factors: a characteristic at the biological, family or community level that is associated with a lower likelihood of problem outcomes or that reduces the negative impact of a risk factor on problem outcomes. Preventing MEB Disorders, 2009

  5. Effective prevention focuses on building protective factors aimed at mitigating the emotional and behavioral effects of adverse situations…such as resiliency skills and meaningful relationships… …rather than focusing on identifying existing deficits. Waxman, H., Gray, J., and Padron, Y., 2003

  6. A Common Language Universal Populations: targeted to the general public or a whole population group and the intervention is desirable for everyone. Preventing MEB Disorders, 2009

  7. A Common Language Selective: targeted to at risk groups or individuals whose risk is above average based on biological, psychological or social risk factors that are known to be associated with the disorder. Preventing MEB Disorders, 2009

  23. Prevention Works! But we Need to DO MORE!!

  24. A Few Policy Implications • Prevention works but there is great disparity between the amount of funding compared to the population • Geography of Texas - all 11 HHSC Regions have prevention services but again they are inadequate to meet need/demand • Schools - since the dismantling of Safe and Drug Free Schools there is no statewide prevention strategy in schools • Schools - small number of districts participate in Texas School Survey—need more participation
