program for youth at risk of developing problems
related to alcohol/drug use, truancy, violence etc.
("Opening Doors") If you are interested in seeing
the research report or hearing about the program,

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!
