Top-Rated Prevention Program Cuts Violent Behavior by up to 50%

Top-Rated Prevention Program Cuts Violent Behavior by up to 50%

A recent study shows that LifeSkills Training (LST), an effective and widely used drug abuse prevention program, can also dramatically reduce verbal and physical aggression, fighting, and delinquency.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 29, 2007

Results of a study conducted with 41 middle schools participating in a scientifically rigorous study, showed that a classroom-based drug abuse prevention program that teaches personal self-management skills and general social skills is also effective in preventing violence.

In this recent study, the prevention program known as LifeSkills Training (LST) was implemented to teach drug resistance skills, norms against substance abuse, personal management skills, and general social skills to a sample of over 2,300 urban minority youth attending 6th grade in 20 New York City middle schools. The skills were taught using a combination of interactive teaching techniques.

Findings demonstrate that students who received LST reported on average a 48% reduction in violent and delinquent behavior than those not receiving the program. The strongest prevention effects were found for students who received at least half of the program. These effects included less verbal and physical aggression, fighting, and delinquency.

"School-based prevention programs for alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs have an impressive track record of reducing substance use among youth. There is considerable evidence that some of the same factors that lead to drug and alcohol use also lead to violence and delinquency. It would stand to reason that an effective drug abuse prevention program would also prevent violence and delinquency. LifeSkills Training is the first to demonstrate such an effect," said the study's lead investigator, Dr. Gilbert J. Botvin, an internationally known expert on drug abuse prevention. Dr. Botvin is a professor of public health and psychiatry at Cornell University's Weill Medical College, director of Cornell's Institute for Prevention Research, and president of National Health Promotion Associates, Inc.

The study proves that some of the risk factors common to drug abuse and violence include positive attitudes about engaging in deviant behavior, poor coping skills, and inadequate problem-solving or decision-making skills. Students receiving the LST program are taught to improve these critical skills.

LifeSkills Training is widely regarded as one of the most effective and rigorously tested research-validated, prevention programs used in schools and communities today. LifeSkills Training is supported by over 25 years of scientific research and more than two dozen published scientific studies documenting the effectiveness of the LST approach. LifeSkills Training is recognized as an Exemplary Program by the U. S. Department of Education, and a Model program by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, and the U. S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

NLN Publishes Five New Titles in Nursing Education

NLN Publishes Five New Titles in Nursing Education

Achieving Excellence in Nursing Education; African American Voices: Reflecting, Reforming, Reframing; Building the Science of Nursing Education: Foundation for Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning; Clinical Nursing Education: Current Reflections; and Minority Nurses in the New Century will be featured at the 2009 Education Summit, September 23 - 26 in Philadelphia, where editors and contributors will be on hand.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 3, 2009

The National League for Nursing (www. nln. org) has announced the publication of five new titles, reflecting the NLN's commitment to excellence, one of the four core values that undergird the organization's mission "to promote excellence in nursing education to build a strong and diverse nursing workforce." All publications, available through the online NLN Marketplace, will also be featured at the 2009 Education Summit, September 23 - 26 in Philadelphia, where editors and contributors will be on hand to autograph copies.

"We are so pleased to be able to offer our community of nurse educators this excellent selection of titles, which are both timely in their themes and, will, we believe, be of practical use in terms of their content," said NLN CEO Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN. "As purveyors of excellence, we applaud the continued commitment to scholarship in nursing education that these volumes represent and anticipate that they will quickly become essential additions to the profession's literary canon."
Achieving Excellence in Nursing Education, edited by Marsha H. Adams, DSN, RN, CNE and Theresa M. Valiga, EdD, RN, FAAN, articulates "the scope of the NLN's vision for excellence in all types of nursing programs and the ways in which nursing educators can strategically coordinate their efforts to achieve excellence in their teaching practice and in their schools," Dr. Pamela M. Ironside wrote in her foreword. The book is structured around the NLN's Excellence in Nursing Education Model© and Hallmarks of Excellence in Nursing Education©, both developed to guide faculty and administrators in a quest for excellence, and calling for "transformative strategies with daring ingenuity." The concluding chapter by Dr. Linda Caputi reminds readers that achieving and sustaining excellence is the responsibility of everyone - students, faculty, administrators - involved in this challenging and forward-thinking enterprise.

African American Voices: Reflecting, Reforming, Reframing, edited by Pamela V. Hammond, PhD, RN, FAAN, ANEF, is the second work in a series devoted to promoting diversity in nursing and nursing education - the first, Asian American Voices: Engaging, Empowering, Enabling, was released in March. Dr. Hammond, provost of Hampton University, a historically black university, wrote in her preface: "The issues in African American Voices…are screaming to be heard!" The book's first chapter, written by NLN CEO Beverly Malone, pays posthumous tribute to two pioneering African American nurses who mentored her, nurturing a vision that has informed her approach to leadership and authority. Dr. Malone's chapter sets the stage for those that follow, which outline the critical need to support nurse educators from underrepresented populations, and strategies for doing so. There is an emphasis throughout the book on the recruitment, retention, and graduation of African American nurses.

Building the Science of Nursing Education: Foundation for Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning, edited by Cathleen M. Shultz, PhD, RN, CNE, FAAN and president-elect of the NLN, is the culmination of a seven-year project by the NLN Task Group on Teaching-Learning Paradigms, which Dr. Shultz chaired. The contributors, all seasoned nurse educator-scholars, thoroughly investigated existing studies of nursing education practice and created the first model for building a science of nursing education, which, it is hoped, will serve as a foundation for continuing scholarship in the field. There are chapters devoted to the essentials of learning and teaching-learning in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. The concluding chapter is a broad overview of the task group's work and points to challenges that remain to be tackled by future scholars for whom this volume is designed to be a resource.

Minority Nurses in the New Century, edited by Hattie Bessent, EdD, MSN, RN, FAAN and organized into three sections, expands on Dr. Bessent's earlier groundbreaking body of work. Dr. Bessent has dedicated her professional career to the inclusion of ethnic minority nurses in education, research, and practice and to the development of their leadership skills and opportunities. In Section 1 of Minority Nurses, Dr. Bessent presents a follow-up to her 2002 survey, Characteristics and Workforce Utilization Patterns of African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Caucasian and, for the first time, mixed-race RNs. In Section 2, researchers Schuyler Webb, PhD and Juanita Fleming, PhD verify Dr. Bessent's 1997 findings of continuing under-representation of minority nurses and recommend effective strategies and methods for improving minority recruitment and retention by schools of nursing. The third section is a series of critical essays that provide context for the issues of recruitment and retention of racial/ethnic minority nurses raised by the surveys. 

Clinical Nursing Education: Current Reflections, edited by Nell Ard, PhD, RN, CNE, ANEF and Theresa M. Valiga, EdD, RN, FAAN, ANEF, was conceived as a unique resource for seasoned and novice faculty as well as for graduate students on the nurse educator track. The book aims to help the profession re-imagine clinical education, historically, the essential core of nursing education, and examine the impact of new models for clinical education in an increasingly complex environment of health care delivery. The book grew out of the editors' experiences as part of the NLN's Task Group on Clinical Education, Blue Ribbon Panel on Research in Nursing Education, and Think Tank on Transforming Clinical Nursing Education. Calling it a "treasure of useful scholarly information that challenges the status quo of clinical education," NLN President-elect Cathleen M. Shultz, lauds the editors for bringing together "noted leaders in nursing education to comprehensively discuss topics that will shape the future of clinical teaching."

Reporters/Editors: For review copies and to arrange interviews with editors and contributors, please contact Karen R. Klestzick, NLN chief communications officer, at 212-812-0376.

Dedicated to excellence in nursing, the National League for Nursing (www. nln. org) is the premier organization for nurse faculty and leaders in nursing education offering faculty development, networking opportunities, testing services, nursing research grants, and public policy initiatives to its 30,000 individual and 1,200 institutional members.

2nd Annual Black Marriage Day on Sunday, March 28th Nationwide

2nd Annual Black Marriage Day on Sunday, March 28th Nationwide

Black Marriage Day will be celebrated in over 40 cities nationwide on Sun., March 28th.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 8, 2004 -

–The Wedded Bliss Foundation and its co-sponsor, Black Enterprise Magazine announce the celebration of the second annual Black Marriage on Sunday, March 28, 2004. “Celebrating the Joy” will take place in forty plus cities around the country and will highlight the benefits of married life and offer celebrations to strengthen and promote marriage in the nation’s Black community. (View PSA)

“We’re creating a cultural shift in the Black community to reconsider marriage and celebrate the joy that exists in spite of the pain we often experience,” explained Wedded Bliss founder, Nisa Islam Muhammad.

“It is a proven fact that Black married men make more money, they are greater accumulators of wealth, as well as live longer and healthier. Further, successful marriages free women from the burden of parenting and providing at the same time. It provides children with the comfort of both financial and emotional stability and marriage gives children access to the two most important people in their lives on a day-to-day basis,” Ms. Muhammad said.

The Black community has suffered for years with declining marriage rates, increasing divorces and nearly 70 percent of their children being born out of wedlock, according to government figures. Black women are the most unpartnered group in the country, the US Census Bureau reports.

Marriage activists in Oakland, California, plan a three-day event that kicks off March 25 and includes workshops, special guest speakers and awards. “We want to change our community with the information necessary to have good marriages,” said Rev. Dion Evans, pastor of Oakland's Chosen Vessels Church.

In Chicago, Joseph Strickland is planning the Metropolitan Area Group for Igniting Civilization event. “There is much to celebrate. We have people who have survived adultery, prison, financial crises, sickness, even divorce and remarriage to the same person.”

Nichol Whiteman, Group Circulation Sales Manager for BLACK ENTERPRISE Magazine, explained the need for their involvement with BMD. "Disciplined saving and investing is one of the most important steps married couples can take to achieve wealth, financial freedom and true happiness.”

“As a sponsor of Black Marriage Day, we encourage married couples everywhere to read BLACK ENTERPRISE on a regular basis and create a formula for financial success in their own lives. The Black Wealth Initiative, introduced by BLACK ENTERPRISE Magazine in 2000, is a program designed to provide African Americans with the tools essential to seeking and acquiring this financial empowerment."

“Marriage benefits everyone, because stable families create the social and economic foundation for a stable community,” Ms. Muhammad said. “Black Marriage Day is a continuation of Wedded Bliss Foundation’s goal to ignite the fire of desire for happy, successful marriages all over the country.”
