Strengthening youth and family resistance to alcohol and other drug abuse David C. Unger, Editor This special journal issue promotes strategies to foster resiliency against ATOD use, targeting youth and families. Themes emphasized are integration of services and the systems approach to substance abuse, empowerment of family members, ethnic diversity, and evaluation methods for model prevention programs. Parents are primary agents of change and the main avenue for preventing substance abuse by children. The authors characterize community partnerships as popular prevention and intervention strategies. Neighborhood coalitions merge resources to foster change for those who cannot do it alone. Community partnerships not only prevent community drug use but also demonstrate how life can improve when people work with and value each other. Some prevention programs target specific ethnic groups, while others focus on public housing communities, the schools, parents and schools together, family-based services, and statewide networks. A directory lists curricula and audiovisual resources of assistance to substance abuse programs. Family Resource Coalition Report, 1991, 10(3): 1-23
