I am sending this for San - Please respond to my address.

Hello fellow health promotion researchers and program planners:

I am conducting a literature review of the philosophies and/or practices

around program planning that is directed at specific "risk groups"
versus programming that is targeted at a "general population." I am
hoping that someone will be able to give me some useful references or
ideas.

For example, if we say that teenaged girls from single-parent households

are more likely to smoke, is it more appropriate to focus intervention
efforts specifically at such girls, or should all girls aged 12-17 be
targeted?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
