Positive Youth Development: History, Effectiveness, and Future Directions

< p>Abstract: Adolescence is popularly viewed as a time of experimentation and risk taking. It is also a time when adolescents develop the skills, connections and good judgment to become productive, contributing member s of society. There is evidence that positive youth development (PYD) ap proaches in childhood and adolescence can help develop these skills, con nections and good judgments and prevent crime and substance use.  D r. Catalano will provide the historical context of positive youth develo pment in the U.S. by describing what brought together researchers, polic y makers and practitioners to critique existing single-problem focused p revention approaches. He will describe the concepts that have been used in PYD approaches, and the impact of PYD programs on substance use and c rime. Dr. Catalano will provide an example of program outcomes from his own work, the Seattle Social Development Project, using the Raising Heal thy Children approach to youth development in elementary school. Future directions for PYD research will be explored.
