Education
Schools
offer opportunities to reach the most children and also serve as
important settings for specific at-risk groups, such as children
with behavior problems and learning disabilities. Prevention education
programs can impart knowledge and develop skills, though research
shows that alone they are insufficient to produce far-reaching and
long-lasting change. Besides school-based health and prevention
education for students, education and training efforts aimed at
adults who interact with youth also contribute to prevention. Specific

processes necessary for effective prevention approaches.
