“…In addition to improving treatment, efficiency criteria are crucial for public policy and investment choices and in evaluating the cost of mental illness to society at a broader level (such as the economics of mental illness and unemployment). Desjardins (2008), for example, recommended that public policy should be based on the choice of a conceptual model of mental health promotion and mental disorder prevention developed from a review of the scientific literature on effective measures.…”

This study describes the development and tests the validity of the Problem Resolution Scale (PRS)—a single‐item measure developed by researchers at Systemic Practice Research Network (SYPRENE) for assessing the degree to which the focal problem of therapy is perceived as resolved. Data were collected at termination from 747 clients seen across 18 therapists. Results suggested good construct validity, supported by a strong correlation between client and therapist perceptions as assessed by the PRS (r = 0.71, p < 0.001). Good criterion validity was also supported by strong correlations between client‐reported psychological well‐being and functioning at termination and both client‐reported (r = −0.63; p < 0.001) and therapist‐reported (r = −0.66; p < 0.001) problem resolution scores. Linear mixed model regression and stratified correlation analysis controlling for the therapist and presenting problem effects confirmed criterion validity. Results provide initial evidence for the validity and utility of the PRS.

“…We were sensitive to the importance of mobilizing community resources in fostering a prevention mentality regarding the use of tobacco. We understood the need to involve parents, schools, media, civic institutions, and local businesses in efforts to address prevention effectively (Biglan et al, 1996;Desjardins, Kishchuk & Lamoureux, 1994;Goodman & Wandersman, 1994;Hawkins et al, 1992;Kaftarian & Hansen, 1994;Lichtenstein et al, 1996;Oei & .ea, 1987;St. Pierre et al, 1992;Wallack, 1985).…”

The article describes a value-based approach to smoking prevention. This approach was implemented in a program with immigrants from Latin America in Canada. The approach is based on the values of participatory community planning and sensitivity to cultural diversity, and on a comprehensive philosophy of health. The program had six specific objectives: (a) to expand knowledge on the effects of smoking, (b) to help teens resist the pressure to smoke, (c) to increase family communication and parental input regarding smoking, (d) to engage children and parents in community activism to prevent the use of tobacco, (e) to reduce intentions to smoke, and (f) to disseminate the program to other ethno-cultural communities. The article shows how the main values inform the various phases of the program. The implications of this approach for smoking prevention and for value-based planning are discussed. Resumen El artículo describe un enfoque valórico a la prevención de tabaquismo. Este enfoque fue implementado en inmigrantes latino americanos a Canadá. Está basado en los valores de una comunidad participante de planificación, y de sensibilidad a la diversidad cultural, y a una filosofía comprensiva a la salud. El programa tenía sus objetivos específicos: (a) expandir el conocimiento de los efectos del tabaco (b) aumentar la comunicación familiar e input parental relacionado con fumar, (c) ayudar a los adolescentes a resistir las presiones a fumar, (d) incorporar a padres y niños de la comunidad activa (o del activismo comunitario) a prevenir el uso del tabaco., (e) a reducir las intenciones de fumar y, (f) a difundir el programa en otras comunidades etno-culturales. El artículo muestra como los principales valores informan las varias fases del programa. Se discute la implicación de este enfoque en la prevención de la conducta de fumar y para el planeamiento basado en valores.
