Personality-targeted prevention for adolescent tobacco use: Three-year outcomes for a randomised trial in Australia.

This is the first study to investigate the effectiveness of Preventure, a selective personality-targeted prevention program, in reducing the uptake of tobacco smoking over a three-year period in adolescence. A cluster randomised controlled trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Preventure. Schools were block randomised to either the Preventure group (n = 7 schools) or the Control group (n = 7 schools) and students were assessed at five time points (baseline, 6-, 12-, 24- and 36-months post-baseline) on measures of tobacco use, intentions to use and self-efficacy to resist peer pressure to smoke tobacco.

Associations of childhood emotional and physical neglect with mental health and substance use in young adults.

Background: Childhood neglect is a risk factor for subsequent mental health problems. However, research on the unique contribution of emotional and physical subtypes of neglect is lacking. Importantly, if emotional and physical neglect have different impacts on mental health, they must be examined separately to understand how to prevent and treat their effects.

The school-led study: Protocol of a cluster-randomised controlled trial of effectiveness to prevent adolescent alcohol misuse, internalising problems, and externalising problems through a personality-targeted intervention delivered by school staff.

Mental disorders and problematic alcohol use are common, co-occurring and cause significant harm to individuals and society. It is critical to intervene early to prevent chronic and debilitating trajectories. Existing prevention programs among adolescents are limited in effectiveness and implementation.

Identifying Targets for Substance Use Prevention in Young People Exposed to Childhood Adversity: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

Background: Adverse childhood experiences are prevalent robust risk factors for the development of substance use problems. However, less is known about the causal mechanisms that explain these relationships. While directly preventing adverse childhood experiences is ideal, it is not always possible.
