RE: Re: re. research on high risk youthThanks Helen, I'm also hoping to access the literature review completed for TPH on "Improving the Mental Health of Young Children in Toronto" (Your name is on the EPHPP website in connection with this) - although this may be related to younger kids. What do you think?

  We completed a systematic review of school based programs to reduce adolescent risk behaviour.  It is in the process of being updated.  however there is nothing really substantively different.  the 1999 review is available at http://www.hamilton.ca/phcs/ephpp

  It may be helpful for you.  Helen

    Pat, I would recommend you look at a best practice guideline  "Enhancing Adolescent Development" from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario available at

    http://www.rnao.org/bestpractices/completed_guidelines/BPG_Guide_C2_adolescent.asp 
    The reference list and bibliography in this document will generate many research articles and items of interest to you. 

    As well the Search Institute has much to say about asset based approaches and has several research reports available. http://www.search-institute.org/

    Also The FOCUS Community (alcohol and other drug community based projects in Ontario) Resource Centre has a database of information available. http://www.frcentre.net/resources.htm
