¶ … Teen Pregnancy Prevention Interactive Systems Framework Technical Assistance Science-Based Approaches Getting to Outcomes Implementation
Duffy, J. L., Severson Prince, M., Johnson, E. E., Alton, F. L., Flynn, S., Mattison Faye, A., Edwards Padgett, P., Rollison, C., Becker, D., & Hinzey, A. L. 2012. Enhancing Teen Pregnancy Prevention in Local Communities: Capacity Building Using the Interactive Systems Framework. Am J Community Psychol. 50:370-385 DOI 10.1007/s10464-012-9531-9
"the Interactive Systems Framework (ISF) suggests that adopting innovations like GTO requires a significant amount of capacity building through training and technical assistance." (2012: 370)
"Chinman et al. (2008) examined the effects of training and TA provided to staff of two substance abuse coalitions to support their use of the Getting To Outcomes (GTO) process for planning, implementing and evaluating their prevention programs."
Variable 1: type of organization -- school or community.
- Variable 2: age of organization -- organizations ranged from around two years old and the majority were more than ten years old.
- Variable 3: Age of TPP program -- the majority of institutions conducted such programs for more than ten years.
- Variable 4: Full-time staff pregnancy prevention -- all institutions had less than ten staff tasked with controlling teen pregnancy situations, with the majority having fewer than four.
- Variable 5: Annual budget -- in most cases this variable ranged between $100,000 and $500,000 per year, with some organizations having budgets lower than $100,000.
-Variable 6: Sources of funding -- state funding dominated this aspect, with the State of South Carolina funding...
"The main forms of prevention support provided by the SC Campaign for this project consisted of trainings and intensive TA (T/TA). Although the project offered additional supports in the form of grants for implementing programs, scholarships, curriculum materials, and access to the GTO-based Online Learning Center, this paper only examines the effects of the primary intervention of training and intensive TA on innovation-specific capacity." (2012: 274-375)
4. The article's findings demonstrate that the Interactive Support Framework can be especially efficient. By performing measurements for three years, researchers found that science-based approaches can significantly influence teen pregnancy rates in an area.

3. "For marijuana use, baseline marijuana use was the only signifi can't predictor, Wald = 4.24, p = .039, odds ratio (OR) = 2.76, 95% confi dence interval (CI) = 1.05 to 7.23, suggesting that baseline marijuana use nearly tripled the odds of marijuana use approximately 7 years later. For the other young adult outcomes, pregnancy within the 2-year follow-up was a signifi can't predictor; in each case, it was associated with an increased risk for the occurrence of the outcome." (2013: 428)
4. "The results of the logistic regression analyses partially supported the study hypotheses. Specifi cally, pregnancies during the 2-year follow-up increased the likelihood that girls would engage in illicit drug use (but not marijuana use), would have one or more pregnancies resulting in a miscarriage, and would come to the attention of child welfare authorities regarding their parenting." (2013: 429)
5. "The current results, combined with those from prior researchers, support the theory that altering general developmental pathways that lead to a host of negative outcomes might be more effective than exclusively targeting problem-specific behaviors, skills, and attitudes thought to be directly related to teen pregnancy." (2013: 432)
Of these elements, they found anxiety sensitivity to be directly linked to lower levels of educational advancement. Anxiety sensitivity mainly comprises symptoms of anxiety leading to fear due to a certain belief that anxiety has dangerous somatic, psychological, or social penalties. In one study scholars found that the basic forms of fears were the playing field for a broad spectrum of fear-stimuli and they found that these basic forms of
Juvenile Delinquency Impact of Poverty, Health Problems, Family Problems on Increase in Juvenile Delinquency? Juvenile delinquency and its causes have been studied extensively. Many factors that put adolescents at risk of becoming delinquent have been identified. The majority of youth who enter the child welfare system, and many of the youth who are caught up in the juvenile justice system have experienced abuse and neglect, dysfunctional home environments, destructive and inconsistent parenting
Adolescent Substance Use Screening Instruments: 10-Year Critical Review of the Research Literature Over ten million teenagers in the United States admit in a national survey that they drink alcohol, although it is illegal under the age of 21 in all states. In some studies, nearly one-quarter of school-age children both smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol. Over four thousand adolescents every day try marijuana for the first time. The dangers of use,
Intervening With Juvenile Drug Crimes Researchers are now focused on developing and evaluating programs designed to break the drug-crime cycle that is common in juvenile delinquents. This paper will summarize existing literature about programs designed to prevent the juvenile drug-crime cycle and, based on that literature, identify interventions that offer the best chances for success. This paper will also provide guidelines and recommendations for developing a comprehensive juvenile justice system that
CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ON WOMEN INVOLVED IN PROSTITUTION Conceptual Paper Millions of children around the globe are sexually abused or exploited. This paper includes several descriptions of studies that relate sexual abuse during childhood to delinquency later in life. There are several difficulties with methodology and definitions that are inherent in the mentioned studies. These challenges make it somewhat difficult to compare and interpret the findings of the study. A framework
" (Bean, 2006) Bean notes that a "dramatic decline in the influence of father involvement has been shown to be correlated with fathers' maintaining a residence other than that of their children." (2006) According to the work entitled: "Theoretical Models of Juvenile Delinquency" developmental pathways of adolescent delinquency has been examined by researcher "through both longitudinal research and meta-analyses." (Theoretical Models of Juvenile Delinquency, nd) Resulting from these empirical investigations are
