On January 25, 1996, the Committee on Youth Development of the Board on Children, Youth, and Families convened a workshop to examine the implications of research on social settings for the design and evaluation of programs that serve youth. The January workshop provided an opportunity for the committee to examine the strengths and limitations of existing research on interactions between social settings and adolescent development. This research has drawn attention to the importance of understanding how, when, and where adolescents interact with their families, peers, and unrelated adults in settings such as home, school, places of work, and recreational sites. This workshop builds on previous work of the National Research Council and reiterates its support for integrating studies of social settings into more traditional research on individual characteristics, family functioning, and peer relationships in seeking to describe and explain adolescent behavior and youth outcomes. Not only does this report examine the strengths and limitations of research on social settings and adolescence and identify important research questions that deserve further study in developing this field, but it also explores alternative methods by which the findings of research on social settings could be better integrated into the development of youth programs and services. Specific themes include the impact of social settings on differences in developmental pathways, role expectations, and youth identity and decision-making skills, as well as factors that contribute to variations in community context.

The Second Edition of the Handbook of Adolescent Behavioral Problems clarifies the current state of treatment and prevention through comprehensive examinations of mental disorders and dysfunctional behaviors as well as the varied forces affecting their development. New or revised chapters offer a basic framework for approaching mental health concerns in youth and provide the latest information on how conditions (e.g., bipolar disorder, suicidality, and OCD) and behaviors (e.g., sex offenses, gang activities, dating violence, and self-harm) manifest in adolescents. Each chapter offers diagnostic guidance, up-to-date findings on prevalence, biological/genetic aspects, risk and resilience factors, and a practical review of prevention and treatment methods. Best-practice recommendations clearly differentiate among what works, what might work, what doesn't work, and what needs further research across modalities, including pharmacotherapy. Key topics addressed include: Families and adolescent development. Adolescent mental health and the DSM-5. Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder. Autism spectrum disorder. Media and technology addiction. School failure versus school success. Bullying and cyberbullying. The Second Edition of the Handbook of Adolescent Behavior Problems is a must-have reference for researchers, clinicians, allied practitioners and professionals, and graduate students in school and clinical child psychology, education, pediatrics, psychiatry, social work, school counseling, and public health.

After-school programs, scout groups, community service activities, religious youth groups, and other community-based activities have long been thought to play a key role in the lives of adolescents. But what do we know about the role of such programs for today's adolescents? How can we ensure that programs are designed to successfully meet young people's developmental needs and help them become healthy, happy, and productive adults? Community Programs to Promote Youth Development explores these questions, focusing on essential elements of adolescent well-being and healthy development. It offers recommendations for policy, practice, and research to ensure that programs are well designed to meet young people's developmental needs. The book also discusses the features of programs that can contribute to a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. It examines what we know about the current landscape of youth development programs for America's youth, as well as how these programs are meeting their diverse needs. Recognizing the importance of adolescence as a period of transition to adulthood, Community Programs to Promote Youth Development offers authoritative guidance to policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and other key stakeholders on the role of youth development programs to promote the healthy development and well-being of the nation's youth.

Over the last decade, positive youth development (PYD) and ecological frameworks have been widely researched and incorporated into youth programs across the United States. The PYD framework emphasizes the strengths and competencies of youth as they move through adolescence and the relationships and contexts that promote competencies (Benson, 2002; 2003). Ecological approaches take into account the nested and complex interplay between various systems such as families, peers, youth programs, and neighborhoods (Bronfenbrenner, 1977). The present study used hierarchical linear modeling and structural equation modeling to explore the influence of supportive relationships on youth outcomes. The results of this study demonstrated that supportive relationships with family members, peers and youth program staff predicted youths' psychological well-being and prosocial orientation. That is, each type of supportive relationship was related to an increased sense of well-being and increased prosocial orientation. Moderation between each of the microsystems was tested, and it was found that the main effects model best predicted each of the youth development outcomes. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to explore the impact of neighborhood poverty level on the relationship between supportive relationships and each youth outcome. The results indicated that neighborhood poverty level did not influence the relationship between supportive relationships and outcomes. Supportive relationships were equally predictive of outcomes across neighborhoods. Finally, structural equation modeling was used to create latent variables and test a model describing the relationship between family, peer, and youth program microsystems and youth outcomes. Fit and modification indices suggested that a mediation model best fit the data. More specifically, the effect of family on youth outcomes is both direct and mediated by peer support and youth program experiences. The results of this study demonstrate the significant influence of families, peers, and youth programs on youth development outcomes. This is especially true of family relationships which were found to be predictive of youths' relationships with peers and experiences in youth programs. Finally, these findings underscore the importance of policy and youth programming aimed to foster positive and supportive relationships for youth.
