Viac o knihe

Tracing the development of Problem Behavior Theory, this book examines its journey from focusing on deviant behavior and alcohol abuse in a tri-ethnic community to becoming a comprehensive framework for understanding youth risky behaviors. It integrates psychosocial development, risk and protective factors, and health behaviors within a societal context. The interdisciplinary approach emphasizes the theory's contributions to social science and its potential to inform effective intervention and prevention strategies for youth and young adults.
