"The book is well written and within the reach of the average
reader. It is well referenced and adequately indexed. The authors
make effective use of tables, charts, and illustrations.
Communities That Care is recommended for the general holdings of
all libraries and will be particularly useful to citizen activists,
community developers, practitioners, and researchers focused on the
treatment of troubled youth." -- R. T. Sigler, CHOICE
"Bravo to the developers of Communities that Care who present a
very readable overview of CTC and community-based prevention. This
impressive book successfully integrates research, practice, and
policy and should be required reading for community leaders and
policy-makers who intend to create effective and sustainable models
that prevent youth problem behavior and promote well-being in their
communities." -Mark T. Greenberg, Bennett Chair of
Prevention Science, Pennsylvania State University
"As a pediatrician and public health practitioner, I realize that
effective solutions to risky behavior, the main determinant of
health in youth, are not likely to be found in the physician's
office. Communities That Care represents an important paradigm
shift to community interventions that work for the whole population
of youth in a community." -Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH, Seattle
Children's Guild Endowed Chair in Pediatric
Research
"This book offers valuable insights into Communities That Care, a
structured coalition planning process that leads to measurable
improvements in child and youth health and wellbeing. The process
is now used to good effect internationally, including in my country
Australia where it has helped reduce health and social problems for
our young people." -John Toumbourou, PhD, Chair in Health
Psychology, Deakin University, Australia
"Communities That Care is among the most significant innovations in
the history of prevention science, practice, and policy. It is a
comprehensive system that provides tools for practitioners and
policymakers to prevent youth behavior problems that are unique to
their individual communities. Communities That Care is a tested and
effective approach that should be implemented widely!" -Jeff
Jenson, PhD, Philip D. and Eleanor G. Winn Endowed Professor
for
Children and Youth, University of Denver
