Primary Prevention Mental Health Programs: The Future is Exciting

Abstract: Current outcome research on primary prevention mental health programs is encouraging and the future is exciting. Data continue to accumulate regarding the efficacy of preventive intervention. Exemplary programs can prevent multiple problems across different outcome domains suggesting the need for collaboration among preventionists across disciplines and research areas. The commentators on our review (Durlak and Wells, 1997) offered many useful suggestions to improve the next generation of research. Most recomm… Show more

“…Those most relevant to the present review were published since the middle 1990s and capture the findings and conclusions of earlier reviews, as well as extending them. Among those published since the middle 1990s, most reviews were directed toward preventive interventions targeting the full range of preventive intervention outcomes, such as those targeting a broad range of substance use, as well as risk and protective factors for substance use, [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] other problem behaviors such as violence and antisocial behavior, 33,34 mental health, 35,36 or positive youth development. 37 Only 2 relatively recent reviews focused exclusively on alcohol misuse, 38,39 and 1 had a relatively narrower focus on primary prevention and long-term outcomes.…”

“…More detailed research in this area will further elucidate the effect of variations in programme implementation, such as critical thresholds of dosage and quality, different methods of teacher training, teacher characteristics, delivery formats and programme support systems. 'The future is [still] exciting' (Durlak & Wells, 1997).…”

“…Aunque en los últimos años cada vez ha sido más frecuente la realización de metaanálisis sobre estudios de investigación preventiva en los que se avala el mérito de la prevención primaria como estrategia de cambio en la población (19), en la mayoría de los programas no se ha superado el carácter experimental en el que rara vez se alcanzan los objetivos para conseguir una continuidad y una generalización, y tampoco se destinan recursos económicos y sociales, aunque se conozca que determinadas condiciones de vida aumentan la vulnerabilidad de las personas y que es esencial una participación comunitaria para actuar sobre dichas condiciones. La mayoría de los estudios necesitan recoger información a largo plazo; una pequeña parte de ellos hace un seguimiento pero no suele ser superior a un año.…”

“…Se deben emplear métodos científicos más rigurosos con el uso de otras metodologías como ensayos randomizados, y, en concreto, métodos cualitativos que evalúen efectos interactivos y no lineales (31; 32) así como estudios longitudinales a largo plazo (19) que avalen los resultados de seguimiento de dichos pro-(90) 362 B. García Moratalla gramas. Se precisan también investigaciones para validar la calidad de la implantación de estos programas y su relación con los resultados, así como la evaluación del coste-efectividad y coste-beneficio de dichas intervenciones y la evaluación de los programas en términos de validez interna y externa, y de fiabilidad.…”
