The contributors include F. Vitaro, M. Brendgen, F. Poulin, D. Hawkins, J. Guo, K. Hill and R. Lerner. This special issue includes four empirical papers that used growth modeling techniques (hierarchical linear modeling, latent growth curve analyses) to examine direct and indirect effects of theory-based, longitudinal prevention experiments on developmental trajectories of children's and adolescents' substance use, delinquency, and school bonding.
