Prevention action in Denver

Prevention Action conference coverage this spring included a visit by senior researcher Vashti Berry to the Society for Research in Child Development biennial meeting in Denver, USA.

This multidisciplinary conference routinely covers nearly every aspect of human development, but this year paid particular attention to interventions for children and families.
 
Visit the site for reports from a symposium where Arthur Reynolds made the economic argument for prevention programs, a discussion of randomised controlled trials of school-based interventions, and a profile of Edward Zigler, Sterling Professor of Psychology at Yale.
