[Episode 57] Today's Social Work Podcast is on community-based prevention services for children as well as adolescents. I spoke alongside Dr. Richard F. Catalano, who along alongside J. David Hawkins, developed Communities That Care, a prevention-planning organisation that promotes the positive evolution of children as well as youth as well as prevents work behaviors, including centre use, delinquency, teen pregnancy, schoolhouse drop-out as well as violence. It is a organisation for identifying community needs, matching those needs to evidence-based prevention programs, as well as evaluating the outcomes. The organisation has been used inward dozens of communities around the United States, as well as has demonstrated effectiveness inward reducing work behaviors as well as promoting positive youth development.

But earlier nosotros acquire to the interview, I desire y'all to imagine for a 2d how y'all would move alongside a important 16-year former sexual abuse survivor who was addicted to crack, semi-illiterate, suicidal, diagnosed alongside bipolar disorder, as well as whose babe daddy was prostituting her inward commutation for drugs. Ok, got your handling programme figured out? If you’re thinking, "I know I demand to address her suicidality first, but after that, I’m non truly sure," so you’d survive right, as well as you’re in all probability non alone. Most social workers, most service providers, care for private or menage unit of measurement problems ane time they’ve occurred. And this immature lady has a lot of problems. So, what if I suggested that the best house to start alongside this customer was 17 years ago, earlier she was born, earlier she was raped, earlier she turned to drugs to tedious her hurting or perhaps used drugs to brand herself aspect cooler to her father-figure swain pimp? What if I suggested that the best usage of fourth dimension as well as coin was inward preventing these problems from occurring inward the offset place? If you’re alongside me on this one, you’re non alone.
In 2006, the New Yorker published an article past times Katherine Boo (2006, February 6) called "Swamp Nurse." The story takes house most an hr southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana, a house where infant mortality, illiteracy rates, as well as kid poverty are amid the highest inward the country. The title, Swamp Nurse, refers to a grouping of nurses who do abode visits alongside low-income women during pregnancy as well as move alongside them until their kid turns two. These nurses are expected to, as well as I’m non making this up, cut down infant mortality, illiteracy rates as well as kid poverty, as well as inward plough improve the overall health, education, as well as economical self-sufficiency of these families as well as consequently the community every bit a whole. Uh huh. All through abode visits. I know. And the most remarkable part? They did it, to a greater extent than or less. How? They were role of a decades-old prevention computer programme called the Nurse-Family Partnership (www.nursefamilypartnership.org/About/What-we-do). These nurses promoted the usage of prenatal care, salubrious eating, non using cigarettes, alcohol or illegal drugs. They worked alongside parents to furnish responsible as well as competent tending – as well as to a xvi yr former that mightiness include getting them to empathize that it is their labor to brand their babe experience loved, non the other way around. And they helped the parents programme for their future, including time to come pregnancies, education, as well as jobs. This computer programme plant because it prevents certainly behaviors past times promoting others. That is the essence of prevention programs. And, according to physician Catalano, at that spot are tons of effective prevention programs out there. The flim-flam is to figure which ones are correct for your community.
Benjamin Franklin famously said, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This idea, that prevention is a improve value for the coin that cure, is at the core of world wellness policy as well as ane of the most compelling arguments for investing inward prevention services. Steve Aos, associate manager of the Washington State Institute for Public Policy has done cost-benefit analyses on dozens of prevention programs, as well as constitute that spell most programs do non remove keep a 16:1 render ratio, at that spot are many programs out at that spot that render $3 as well as $4 dollars per dollar invested. Oh, as well as the Nurse-Family Partnership? $2.88 per dollar. Steve as well as his colleagues calculated that past times spending $9100 per mother, the Nurse-Family Partnership produced over $26,000 inward do goodness (www.wa.gov/wsipp).
Let’s come upward dorsum to our 16-year former cleft addicted suicidal prostitute for a minute. If she had been involved alongside a program, or a serial of programs that promoted parent-child bonding, emotional, cognitive, behavioral as well as moral competence, self-determination, belief inward the future, as well as one-half a dozen other concepts that are included nether inward the broad heading of positive development, it is probable that she would remove keep never move my client.
In monastic enjoin to acquire to a greater extent than most how this mightiness plough over off at a community level, I spoke alongside physician Richard Catalano, or "Rico" every bit he asked me to telephone phone him. Rico is the Bartley Dobb Professor for the Study as well as Prevention of Violence as well as the Director of the Social Development Research Group inward the School of Social Work at the University of Washington. He has published over 225 articles as well as mass chapters, as well as his move has been recognized past times practitioners; criminologists; as well as prevention scientists.
I asked Rico to speak most some of the persistent problems that youth inward America human face upward as well as why nosotros haven’t been able to overcome them. He talked most why he went from beingness a handling researcher to a prevention researcher. We talked most the benefits of taking a community-based approach to prevention. Rico described the Communities That Care prevention system, as well as talked most what makes it an effective approach to preventing adolescent behaviour problems as well as promoting positive evolution of children as well as youth. I interviewed Rico at Temple University’s School of Social Work. He was the invited speaker for the school’s lecture serial on social move research. For to a greater extent than data most Temple’s School of Social Work, or the inquiry lecture series, delight see their website at www.temple.edu/ssa.org

Jonathan Singer: So, Rico, cheers so much for beingness hither as well as talking alongside us today. My offset inquiry is, what are some of the persistent problems that youth inward America human face upward as well as why haven’t nosotros been able to overcome them?
Richard Catalano: Youth inward our communities today are facing a number of problems. Things similar centre abuse, youth violence, delinquency, teen pregnancy, schoolhouse dropout, these problems remove keep persisted over fourth dimension as well as remove keep been peculiarly hard to change. There are some novel directions that truly remove keep had effects on these but overall our communities, peculiarly inward this fourth dimension of economical downturn, are plagued past times these problems.
Jonathan Singer: So, why address these kinds of problems through prevention rather than treatment?
Richard Catalano: When I began my career inward both inquiry as well as computer programme development, I truly was working on the handling as well as remediation side of the equation. Many of the children as well as adults that I worked alongside had already experienced the reinforcing effects of drugs, they were oftentimes failing at school, they were inward serious conflict alongside their families, and, if they were adults, they were truly leading a whole novel generation downward that same path. It’s of import move that has to survive done, working inward handling as well as aftercare as well as remediation. The work is that a lot of harm has been done, both to the kids themselves, their families as well as their peers, every bit good every bit incredible costs to society. So nosotros kept thinking, wasn’t at that spot something nosotros could do other than only run an ambulance service at the bottom of a cliff underneath a sudden curve? Wasn’t it possible to set upward guardrails so kids wouldn’t move careening off when they came to that sudden curve? Or fifty-fifty improve yet, couldn’t nosotros stride dorsum farther as well as set upward signs that said, “Danger ahead, delight like shooting fish in a barrel down”? Or fifty-fifty better, couldn’t nosotros move alongside kids earlier they ever got inward the automobile as well as furnish goodness drivers’ teaching as well as preparation so they could recognize the signs of unsafe driving situations? Or fifty-fifty better, couldn’t nosotros create laws that would set inward graduated driver licensing so that kids would remove keep plenty experience earlier they got their license as well as they wouldn’t survive inward the automobile alongside a lot of distractions spell they’re learning to drive? Or best, couldn’t nosotros do all those things – guard rails, signs, preparation as well as education, as well as policy alter at the same time? So I became really interested inward taking this approach to prevention to forbid kids from falling over the cliff, if y'all will, as well as it’s been an interesting career to brand that shift from handling as well as aftercare to prevention. The corking affair inward the unmarried career, when I began my career as well as started looking into this area, David Hawkins as well as I did a duet of reviews of what plant inward prevention as well as nosotros looked at all delinquency prevention as well as centre abuse prevention at the time, this was inward the mid- to tardily 70’s, as well as what nosotros constitute was that non a unmarried one, non fifty-fifty inward the well-controlled studies, non a unmarried ane of these interventions worked. But now, xxx years later, there’s a diversity of preventative interventions that remove keep been tested as well as shown to survive effective inward controlled trials. And nosotros remove keep a make of effective approaches from prenatal as well as infancy programs to early on childhood education, bring upward preparation through the developmental bridge of children inward adolescence, programs inward schools, every bit good every bit programs that touching on communities themselves. So it’s truly been a big bounding main alter inward the prevention area.
Jonathan Singer: Rico, y'all only mentioned that at that spot are persistent problems that nosotros haven’t been able to overcome as well as yet, at that spot are immediately a number of effective programs for addressing issues inward youth as well as peradventure inward adult populations. How is that possible that nosotros tin remove keep programs that move as well as nonetheless nosotros haven’t been able to overcome these problems?
Richard Catalano: That’s a truly goodness inquiry as well as I think it’s the 21st century question. We are at a dot where nosotros do remove keep effective models, they are distributed across development. There’s 2 problems, or 2 parts to this problem. The offset work is that many of these programs remove keep been demonstrated inward inquiry studies so those of us at universities remove keep developed these programs, carefully implemented them, as well as constitute them to survive effective as well as oftentimes many of us are happy past times finding that as well as putting it inward a mag article as well as expecting the solid set down to change. Then when someone says, oh, here’s this effective program, how tin I acquire it? Then they write the writer as well as they say, well, we’ve moved on but nosotros remove keep these three-ring notebooks if you’d similar to aspect at our notes, y'all could truly endeavour to implement it. Universities truly aren’t fix for disseminating usable programs inward communities. So ane role of the bounding main changes that has to occur is that those programs that are effective demand to survive manualized as well as fix so that existent people as well as existent communities, social workers inward diverse systems, tin truly deliver those inward interventions. And that has changed over the terminal fifteen years when nosotros were starting to do these reviews, most of the studies nosotros constitute didn’t remove keep this backup but immediately every bit federal as well as province funds remove keep been available for evidence-based do nether that rubric, to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than of these programs are developing those manuals, the preparation programs that are necessary to truly acquire programs inward broad distribution. The terminal fourth dimension I did a review, although at that spot was over xc programs that remove keep been shown to survive effective, only most xl of those programs truly had preparation as well as technical assistance to move on alongside them. And 10 years earlier that only most 10 did. So it’s truly been that role of the bounding main change. And the 2d role is that nosotros every bit practitioners as well as consumers likewise demand to restrain on this bandwagon. In Washington State, practitioners are continually coming dorsum to us, as well as nosotros do our surveys of the champaign as well as say, what do y'all hold off of our graduates as well as what do y'all want? And they come upward dorsum to us every fourth dimension with, y'all guys could survive doing a improve labor of 2 things: one, teaching your students to evaluate their ain practice, as well as although nosotros do that, manifestly it’s non goodness plenty as well as the champaign is demanding it, as well as learn them to a greater extent than most evidence-based do as well as what plant where, alongside whom, as well as those kinds of things because nosotros truly desire to know that more. So the champaign is driving it. But I think nosotros won’t survive able to brand the divergence alongside these persistent problems until community members, consumers, are demanding these same kinds of things. To tell a personal story, 2 as well as a one-half years agone I had prostate cancer; I was diagnosed alongside prostate cancer. I wanted to uncovering out everything I could most what the cancer was, what kinds of treatments at that spot were, what the long term results were, what the complications were alongside dissimilar methods of treating that. So I, every bit a consumer, I was earthworks into the inquiry literature, spell I am in all probability improve placed than most people to do that, on the other hand, it’s available on websites that y'all tin actually, a regular consumer, non a researcher necessarily, tin uncovering these things inward that field. We’ve got to survive inward the same house that when someone at your schoolhouse says, oh, we’re doing this program; nosotros think that the parents should survive saying, well, why, as well as has that been shown to survive effective? And if that mortal stumbles, so they say, well, nosotros truly don’t desire to do that program, nosotros desire to do something that’s effective. Or if they say, yes, it’s effective, so y'all desire to say, well, so how is that demonstrated? Was that demonstrated inward a controlled lawsuit or did only Jimmy as well as Mary do that computer programme as well as they liked it or not? So nosotros remove keep to survive bespeak those questions as well as nosotros remove keep to survive getting those answers from people who are responsible for helping us enhance our children.
Jonathan Singer: So y'all talked most your ain experience every bit a consumer as well as y'all talked most parents as well as the demand for consumers to truly survive able to uncovering this data as well as demand it of us every bit providers. And when I remove heed that I think most individuals, but your expanse of expertise as well as what you’ve been researching is community flat approaches to prevention. I’m wondering if y'all could speak most why y'all think it’s of import to remove a community-based approach to prevention.
Richard Catalano: That’s some other corking question. There are at to the lowest degree 2 reasons to do this. The offset argue is that all communities are different. Communities volition tell y'all that, every bit a practitioner, oh, we’re dissimilar than this other place, West Philadelphia’s dissimilar than the North End as well as communities inside that volition tell y'all that they’re dissimilar as well as they are. So ane size does non fit all across communities as well as that’s truly an of import affair for us to recognize. On the other hand, nosotros demand to mobilize all the resources inward communities so that nosotros can, inward prevention at least, prevention funds as well as programming are distributed across a number of sectors, criminal justice, education, social as well as wellness services, as well as many other areas. And if nosotros could acquire those practitioners as well as consumers to move together, we’re going to remove keep what nosotros truly demand to do effective prevention. So 2 things, it has to survive done at the local flat because nosotros tin truly demonstrate that the kinds of problems inward dissimilar local areas are dissimilar as well as the predictors that are driving those problems are dissimilar inward each area. That agency that dissimilar programming solutions are necessary inward dissimilar local areas. The best advocates for that are going to survive the local community members, the local service providers that tin truly ensure that the effective programs that they pick out are going to survive working alongside their populations. They’re the ones that are going to survive most probable to know what their populations react to, they tin pick out a number of programs. And a neighborhood inward West Philadelphia mightiness pick out dissimilar programs than neighborhoods inward North Philadelphia, although they may pick out some of the same things because at that spot are similar problems inward both communities but at that spot volition survive differences as well as at that spot volition survive cultural or economical differences that may betoken dissimilar programs beingness necessary.
Jonathan Singer: In thinking most communities choosing programs, prevention programs, as well as tailoring them to the needs of the specific communities truly makes me think of the demand for local research. Not only sort of local inquiry as well as how good these programs move inward these neighborhoods, but truly on the neighborhoods as well as developing programs inside neighborhoods that may or may non move inward other neighborhoods around the country.
Richard Catalano: It’s truly of import to do this neighborhood-based inquiry on 2 ends. One, for needs assessment because that volition assist us betoken which types of programs are to a greater extent than of import for dissimilar areas, every bit good every bit on the outcomes of these programs. One of the clear things that we’ve learned inward the effectiveness inquiry inward prevention is that intervention fidelity is truly of import to getting the outcomes. If y'all only say, here’s a 5 session computer programme as well as it has these 10 things inward it as well as I, every bit a practitioner say, good I’d similar to pick out only 2 session because I only don’t think I tin acquire my population to come upward out for 5 sessions, as well as I only desire to do vi of the 10 things because they’re easier to do or whatever. Those programs are probable non to survive effective. So nosotros demand inquiry non only on the outcome of these programs but, are they beingness delivered inward the way that they are supposed to survive delivered? Now at that spot are adaptations that are for dissimilar cultural groups, but primarily, as well as many of these programs remove keep been tested alongside multiple cultural groups, but primarily adaptation is involved inward how y'all acquire people inward front end of the program? So, how y'all recruit people is truly really of import as well as it’s really dissimilar inward dissimilar neighborhoods, inward dissimilar cultural, inward dissimilar economical groups. Low income people remove keep a harder fourth dimension getting out to a place, maybe y'all remove keep to remove the intervention to them rather than bespeak them to come upward to your agency. That’s ane area. And the other ane is that inward monastic enjoin for people to change, the ideas remove keep to brand feel to them, hence y'all remove keep to communicate it inward a way that truly says, “Ah ha! This plant for me, I could do this.” As nosotros know, our do community is really goodness at knowing what may capture people’s imaginations that say, “Ah ha! This is of import for me. I demand to brand these changes inward my family. I demand to brand these changes inward my community.” And those arguments may survive really dissimilar inward dissimilar communities. So both of those are necessary on the adaptation flat but on the other hand, the computer programme itself truly needs to survive delivered alongside fidelity if it’s going to brand a difference.
Jonathan Singer: So every bit you’re talking most what communities demand as well as the diversity of programs that are available as well as all of the components that ane would remove keep to consider inward making community-based approaches to prevention successful, it seems a footling overwhelming similar at that spot are so many pieces of the puzzle. You’ve developed a prevention organisation called Communities That Care. And I was wondering if y'all could speak most what that is as well as how that helps communities to necktie those pieces together.
Richard Catalano: Great. When I started my career the inquiry was, does prevention work? Now the inquiry isn’t that anymore because at that spot are effective approaches. Now the inquiry is, what’s the best prevention approach or the best laid of prevention approaches that volition address the needs inward my community today? So nosotros don’t remove keep to do them all as well as nosotros don’t remove keep to address all of the predictors, nosotros remove keep to address the predictors or the needs of our communities that are most elevated inward our ain communities. So ane of the things that nosotros did after developing a number of prevention programs was to say, nosotros don’t know that nosotros demand to develop to a greater extent than prevention programs, what nosotros do demand to do is develop an operating system, if y'all will, of communities to survive able to pick out the correct programs for their needs. So if y'all alive inward Seattle, y'all think of Windows every bit the operating organisation as well as y'all say, what Windows does for me is it helps me do a duet of things. It helps me acquire to Word because I write papers as well as it helps me acquire to PowerPoint because I brand presentations. My administrator inward my grouping needs to acquire to Excel, so Windows helps her acquire to a computer programme that meets her needs. So that’s what nosotros demand to do alongside communities. Communities demand an operating organisation that acquire them to the correct application bundle that’ll run across their community needs. So what Communities That Care does, it’s a year-long process, it helps acquire the correct groups of people together inward communities. Now there’s been many dissimilar approaches to prevention overall or to community development, community organizing, our approach truly tries to connect those telephone commutation leaders inward communities that concur the resources inward their community, concur the fiscal resources similar mayors, as well as law chiefs, as well as schoolhouse superintendents, as well as social service directors, etc. as well as likewise connect them to the grassroots people who are imbedded inward these neighborhoods as well as communities so that nosotros tin both remove keep resources as well as nosotros tin set those resources together alongside folks who know how to acquire things done inward their community. So nosotros endeavour to educate as well as educate both groups of people, the telephone commutation leaders inward monastic enjoin to say, we’re going to do this, do y'all purchase into it, as well as if y'all do, assist us acquire the correct individuals on this community team, potent implementers that volition survive able to brand a divergence inward their community. And when nosotros come upward dorsum to y'all alongside a plan, you’re going to fund it, as well as do y'all desire to do that or not? So nosotros brand those, it’s clearly a choice that nosotros offering the telephone commutation leaders as well as most oftentimes they remove that challenge. So nosotros educate telephone commutation leaders, nosotros so educate a community board to do a needs assessment or a remove chances as well as protective factor assessment of their children inward their communities. We remove keep a survey of sixth, eighth, tenth, as well as 12th graders, we’ve developed corking visuals to show, what are the remove chances factors that are most elevated inward your communities, what are the protective factors that are most depressed? Then nosotros assist those community teams match, offset of all, they prioritize, it’s their prioritization process. They figure out which ones they desire to address. Then nosotros remove keep what nosotros telephone phone our “Prevention Strategies Guide” inward Communities That Care that truly shows, if this is your remove chances factor, here’s a laid of dissimilar approaches that could address that remove chances factor. There mightiness be, for instance, bring upward preparation inward our schoolhouse curriculum, or community policy change, as well as so if they pick out a detail full general approach, there’s truly a listing of programs underneath that remove keep goodness preparation as well as technical assistance that remove keep demonstrated outcomes so that they tin move dig into the dissimilar types of programs as well as say, this ane is the ane that volition fit alongside my community, this ane I don’t think it will, this ane I think nosotros tin do. And so nosotros move alongside them to facilitate their planning for implementation, bringing the preparation inward for the detail approach, as well as getting these novel community prevention programs implemented inward schools, inward social service settings, as well as other institutions. Since nosotros did the needs assessment at the front end end, it likewise works, nosotros advise they do the survey every 2 years so they tin reckon how good they’re doing as well as if they’ve made changes inward the remove chances as well as protective factors as well as outcomes that they prioritized, every bit good every bit at that spot is fidelity assessment for the programs because for some reasons y'all mightiness non reckon changes or we’re non doing the computer programme the correct way. Another argue is that, good nosotros wanted attain all 300 parents of 5th graders inward our community as well as nosotros only reached 20. So there’s a saturation number every bit good so nosotros assist communities rail both saturation as well as fidelity to reckon if those touching on their outcomes inward the long run. It’s a sort of thermostatic process, Communities That Care, because you’re reassessing all the fourth dimension so y'all tin reckon if novel needs or novel remove chances factors are popping up. And every bit y'all move inward some areas reducing risk, other areas may immediately move priorities because you’ve addressed some of the areas already. So y'all move into some other planning bicycle most on an every 2 to 3 yr basis.
Jonathan Singer: So the inquiry is, how is it that Communities That Care seems to work? What are some of the factors that seem to move far an effective approach to preventing adolescent behaviour problems as well as promoting positive evolution inward children as well as youth?
Richard Catalano: You know, we’ve done a randomized lawsuit of 24 communities across vii dissimilar states: Washington, Oregon, Utah, Kansas, Illinois, as well as Maine, as well as Colorado, as well as what we’ve constitute from that is that our theory of alter truly has been shown to survive the way that it happens. If y'all give preparation as well as technical assistance to communities, there’ll survive some things that plough over off at the community level. First of all, they’ll adopt this sort of scientific discipline based approach to prevention, as well as I don’t only hateful the teams or the other individuals but nosotros tin inquire many dissimilar people inward the community, what’s going on? Indeed we’ve shown that that has happened. The 2d affair that happens, non only do they adopt this approach if nosotros do the training, but they truly collaborate more. So there’s a lot to a greater extent than interagency collaboration, there’s a lot to a greater extent than collaboration betwixt telephone commutation leaders as well as prevention programmers at the solid set down level, the telephone commutation leader’s involved as well as informed most what their progress has been. So there’s truly a lot to a greater extent than collaboration, innersectoral collaboration, that happens. The tertiary affair nosotros think would happen, if those 2 things are happening, because this is an evidence-based approach, nosotros think at that spot should survive to a greater extent than evidence-based programs inward communities and, of course, at that spot are. And non only are at that spot to a greater extent than evidence-based programs, everyone’s pushing for that now, but the evidence-based practices are delivered alongside high fidelity to the thought of the intervention. And how we’ve done that is inward really interesting ways. As the community board chooses these programs as well as they educate the individuals to do it, the community board members are responsible for watching the implementers deliver the program, so they remove keep footling fidelity checklists every bit good every bit the implementers remove keep them, but they’re at that spot as well as saying, oh look, this is what we’ve decided to do, as well as aspect they’re doing it the correct way, isn’t that great? So they furnish feedback to the implementers every bit well. So nosotros likewise acquire it alongside high fidelity. Our timeframe is about, after implementing the program, betwixt ane as well as 2 years nosotros hold off to reckon changes inward the needs or the remove chances as well as protective factors. We truly remove keep seen that demonstrated that that happens inward this trial. And after 3 to iv years nosotros hold off changes inward outcome behaviors as well as we’ve seen changes inward centre abuse as well as delinquency amid children inward these communities inward our trial.
Jonathan Singer: Rico, cheers so much for taking the fourth dimension today to speak alongside us most Communities that Care.
Richard Catalano: Thanks, it’s been corking to do the podcast. Thanks, Jonathan.
