Prevention is Primary: Strategies for Community Wellbeing

Prevention Institute proudly announces the forthcoming text on primary prevention. Prevention is Primary: Strategies for Community Wellbeing is an academic text co-edited by Larry Cohen and Sana Chehimi of Prevention Institute along with Vivian Chavez of San Francisco State University. Prevention is Primary aims to move future practitioners from the margins of prevention to its core by defining the elements of quality prevention efforts, identifying best practices and illustrating the application of prevention principles in a multitude of settings. We encourage you to view the Table of Contents or read the first chapter and to sign up to be notified when Prevention is Primary is published in March 2007 by Jossey-Bass.
