- Summary:
-
For a primary prevention program to succeed, it should: (1) address a significant individual or social problem; (2) be designed for, and delivered to, the individuals or groups most likely to be at-risk of experiencing the problem; (3) provide the kind of information or service desired by this target audience; (4) be sufficiently cost-effective and practical so that it can be delivered to a fairly large audience; and, most importantly, (5) acheive its objectives with a significant proportion of those to whom it is delivered. The programs discussed in this paper appear to meet these criteria. Described in terms of their purpose and scope are two researched, prevention-by-mail programs designed to determine the effects of age-paced parent education booklets on those who read them. The first study considered is a survey of parents in 10 states who received a series of booklets designed to help parents enhance their parenting skills and improve their knowledge of infant development. The second study is an evaluation of a California age-paced parent education series, "Parent Express," designed for teenage and low-income parents. In the conclusion, implications for social work are briefly discussed. (RH)
