Description¶

The host volume's framing theory treats schooling and prevention as mutually reinforcing: it "examines educational goals and prevention of risky behaviors as parallel and complementary processes and provides evidence for health-promoting schools as a critical forum for student development." Collaboration among instructors, prevention scientists, and counselors is said to yield "improved academic, social, and health outcomes." Dropout prevention is one application of this integrated framework.
