OTHER PREVENTION MATERIAL
Risk and Protective Factors
The Risk & Protective Factor prevention model was developed by J.
David Hawkins, Ph.D. and Richard F. Catalano, Ph.D. at the
University of Washington. This proven prevention method involves
increasing and assuring the existence of "protective factors" in
a youth’s life, while reducing or eliminating "risk factors" that
lead to delinquency or substance abuse. The presence and/or
absence of these detailed factors has a direct correlate
relationship with a youth’s tendency to abuse alcohol or other
drugs.
The WSLCB Alcohol Awareness program is a firm believer in this
model of prevention and works within this framework when
crafting prevention material, programs, and services. To learn
more about how the Risk & Protective Factor model relates to
alcohol and substance abuse prevention, you can download the
following pamphlet.
This six-page pamphlet gives a comprehensive overview of the
risk and protective factors that relate to alcohol and
substance abuse in the lives of young people. It details
community, family, school, and individual/peer risk factors
that pose a danger, and the protective factors that we
should ensure are in place in a youth’s life.
