Focusing on a long-term intervention in a Southwestern border town, it documents the development of critical consciousness in an affected community, and emphasizes young people as crucial drivers of change in their environment. The book’s Community Readiness Model provides vital context for successful coalition building between youth, families, and community entities (e.g., schools, civic leaders, police) in reducing alcohol risk factors and promoting healthier choices. Given the severity and prevalence of youth alcohol use, this case study offers a viable blueprint for large-scale engagement in prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAmong the featured topics:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntegrating      research into prevention strategies using participatory action research.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBreaking      down silos between community-based organizations: coalition development.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAdult      perspectives on nurturing youth leadership and coalition participation.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eYouth      perspectives on youth power as the source of community dev\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eelopment.  \u003cli\u003eCoalition      as conclusion: tips on creating a functioning coalition.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCommunity      transformational resilience for adolescent alcohol prevention.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYouth-Community Partnerships for Adolescent Alcohol Preven\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003etion\u003c\/i\u003e is both practical and inspiring reading for researchers and other mental health professionals\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ein psychology, social work, and public health who work with adolescents, communities, and civic engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-03-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319798790\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-26030-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 273\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47697879957644,"sku":"9783319798790","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319798790.jpg?v=1776779162","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319798790","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
