The Handbook of Preventive Interventions for Children and Adolescents is the first book that thoroughly covers the various types of prevention interventions available for children and adolescents encountering emotional, health, and social problems.

Unresolved grief
Teenage suicide
Birth defects
Substance abuse
Teenage pregnancies
Sexually transmitted diseases
HIV/AIDS
Eating disorders
School violence
School dropout
And more
