Communities That Care is recommended for the general holdings of all libraries and will be particularly useful to citizen activists, community developers, practitioners, and researchers focused on the treatment of troubled youth. -- R. T. Sigler, CHOICE Bravo to the developers of Communities that Care who present a very readable overview of CTC and community-based prevention. This impressive book successfully integrates research, practice, and policy and should be required reading for community leaders and policy-makers who intend to create effective and sustainable models that prevent youth problem behavior and promote well-being in their communities. -Mark T. Greenberg, Bennett Chair of Prevention Science, Pennsylvania State University As a pediatrician and public health practitioner, I realize that effective solutions to risky behavior, the main determinant of health in youth, are not likely to be found in the physician's office. Communities That Care represents an important paradigm shift to community interventions that work for the whole population of youth in a community. -Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH, Seattle Children's Guild Endowed Chair in Pediatric Research This book offers valuable insights into Communities That Care, a structured coalition planning process that leads to measurable improvements in child and youth health and wellbeing. The process is now used to good effect internationally, including in my country Australia where it has helped reduce health and social problems for our young people. -John Toumbourou, PhD, Chair in Health Psychology, Deakin University, Australia Communities That Care is among the most significant innovations in the history of prevention science, practice, and policy. It is a comprehensive system that provides tools for practitioners and policymakers to prevent youth behavior problems that are unique to their individual communities. Communities That Care is a tested and effective approach that should be implemented widely! -Jeff Jenson, PhD, Philip D. and Eleanor G.
