Direct linkLove, Kelly Brey – Journal of Educational & Psychological Consultation, 2007
More than a decade ago, Joseph Zins (1995) hypothesized that consultation had the power to prevent children from developing academic, social, emotional, and related problems. To date, empirical research has yet to fully validate its value. This commentary discusses the potential benefit of consultation as a preventive measure, identifies ways to…

Dillon, Naomi – Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, 2007
Statistically, school violence is rare and declining, but emotionally it is difficult to reconcile with the fact that anyone would purposefully inflict harm on schools and students. Safety experts advocate a thoughtful approach to the problem, noting that much of the information to base school safety policies upon is already out there. Last…

US Department of Education, 2009
Because of recent violent crimes, natural disasters, and other emergencies or crises, colleges and universities are convening committees and task forces to reexamine or conduct a comprehensive review of policies, procedures, and systems related to campus safety and security. As with many critical areas on the agendas of administrators, campus…

Despite knowing the risks to their children's health, parents continue to expose their children to tobacco smoke prior to and after their birth. This study explores the factors influencing parent's behaviour in preventing the exposure of their (unborn) children to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and any changes to their smoking behaviour in the…

Davis, Mark S.; Callanan, Valerie J.; Lester, David; Haines, Janet – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2009
Few theories on suicide have been grounded in the norm of reciprocity. There is literature on suicide, however, describing motivations such as retaliation and retreat which can be interpreted as modes of adaptation to the norm of reciprocity. We propose a reciprocity-based theory to explain suicides associated with relationship problems. Employing…

Journal of American College Health, 2009
The American College Health Association (ACHA) acknowledges and supports the findings of the Surgeon General that tobacco use in any form, active and/or passive, is a significant health hazard. ACHA further recognizes that environmental tobacco smoke has been classified as a Class-A carcinogen and that there is no safe level of exposure to…

Edwards, Oliver W. – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2009
Empirical studies describing the functioning of children raised by their grandparents are noticeably limited, yet custodial grandparenting has become a prominent alternate family structure. Grandparents may function better as surrogate parents than abusive parents, nonrelatives, or foster caregivers. Although many children raised by their…

Curtis, Valerie A.; Danquah, Lisa O.; Aunger, Robert V. – Health Education Research, 2009
Handwashing with soap (HWWS) may be one of the most cost-effective means of preventing infection in developing countries. However, HWWS is rare in these settings. We reviewed the results of formative research studies from 11 countries so as to understand the planned, motivated and habitual factors involved in HWWS. On average, only 17% of child…

Collier, Anne – School Library Journal, 2009
Online safety is obsolete. A concept little changed since the 1990s, it's one size fits all, emphasizing fear instead of facts, with young people stereotyped as potential victims in a hostile media environment. It's past time for Online Safety 3.0. Why 3.0? Previous versions--1.0 and 2.0--focused on inappropriate content, adult-to-child crime, and…

Reyes, Cassandra L. – Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, 2009
The incarceration binge between 1980 and 2000 resulted in a rate of incarceration of 100 to over 500 people per 100,000 (Irwin, 2005). Specifically, from 1980 to 1997, the number of drug offenders increased 1,040% (Petersilia, 2003). Not only is the number of drug offending inmates an issue, so is the cost of drug addiction, prompting a need for…

LaBrie, Joseph; Lamb, Toby; Pedersen, Eric – Journal of Child & Adolescent Substance Abuse, 2009
Few studies examine changes in drinking behavior during the transition from high school to college. Using a sample of 239 first-year males, we hypothesized that participants would increase drinking from pre-college to the first month of college. Results reveal a general trend toward increased drinking upon entering college. Caucasians increased…
