Exam #3 Prevention Flashcards
In common, both prevention and cessation programming may involve:
- Social influence-oriented contents
-Cognitive-behavioral techniques contents
- Motivational enhancement contents
- Response-contingent reinforcement contents
- Supply reduction approach contents
Cognitive-behavioral techniques contents:
identify at-risk situations, enhance social competency,
assertiveness, self-management and behavioral regulation, effective problem solving, coping strategies
Motivational enhancement contents:
clarify desire for change and reduce ambivalence toward change;
use of strategies to increase motivation to not start drug use, not escalate drug use, or to quit drug use
Supply reduction approach contents:
Arrange social environment so drugs are more difficult to obtain or
use (e.g., price increases or restricted access)
Similar Modalities of Delivery:
Channels within which the programming is offered (e.g., schools, medical
clinics, prisons, community agencies, family home, computer-based or systemwide)
Similar Good Implementer Characteristics:
Favorable attitudes toward the program, perceived self-
efficacy to implement the program, and good overall teaching skills
-Cessation in a prevention program? (e.g., tobacco cessation in drug abuse prevention for risky youth)
– Prevention in a cessation program? (e.g., relapse prevention
Types of prevention: Definitions
Primary prevention:
Implemented on a population before the problem behavior starts
Types of prevention: Definitions
Secondary prevention:
Targeting the population after the problem behavior starts but before the
disease sets in
Types of prevention: Definitions
Tertiary prevention:
Aimed to improve conditions for diseased individuals before death is likely
Types of prevention: Definitions
Universal prevention:
Designed to affect the general population
Types of prevention: Definitions
Selective prevention:
Designed to affect subgroups at elevated risk for developing a problem, based
on social, psychological, or other factors (e.g., children of alcoholics)
Types of prevention: Definitions
Indicated prevention
Designed to affect high-risk subgroups already identified as having some signs
or symptoms of a developing problem (e.g., experimental drug users)
Types of prevention:
Chronology definitions

History of drug abuse prevention:

and scare tactics)
Types of neurobiologically relevant prevention programming
- Genetics
- Neurotransmission
- Delay
- Emotional learning and cooperation learning
- Sensation seeking (SS) alternatives programming
- Self-control/self-regulation skills
Types of neurobiologically relevant prevention programming:
- Genetics
Future prevention programming?: screening and assignment to tailored programs based on
profile; prophylactic medications to attempt gene function manipulation
Types of neurobiologically relevant prevention programming:
- Delay
Delaying exposure to drugs – harm delay
Types of neurobiologically relevant prevention programming:
4.Emotional learning and cooperation learning
Good Behavior Game to learn cooperation
Types of neurobiologically relevant prevention programming:
6.Self-control/self-regulation skills
