The primary objective of this series is to facilitate the transfer of prevention and intervention technology between and among re­ searchers, administrators, policymakers, educators, and providers in the public and private sectors. The content of state-of-the-art conferences, reviews of innovative or exemplary programming models, and reviews of evaluative studies are important elem~nts ofOSAP's information dissemination mission. This monograph is based on papers and discussions from the First National Conference of Prevention Research Findings held in Kansas City, Missouri, in March 1988. The conference was originally funded through a conference grant No. 1R13DA04388/01 by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The proceedings were compiled by staff and consultants of the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors under a purchase order agreement with Professional Management Associates, Inc., a support services contractor for aSAP. Sandy Katz, Division of Communication Programs, aSAP, served as the developmental and preliminary production manager for the publication.

Johnson, Ph.D. Director, aSAP Robert W. Denniston Director, Division of Communication Programs, OSAP Foreword Knowledge transfer within the alcohol and other drug field is vitally impor­ tant, and this is especially true in the rapidly evolving field of prevention. Those who work in demonstration programs, as well as service providers, are anxiously awaiting news ofinnovative and promising approaches so that they might apply them in their own programs. Thus, the Office for Substance Abuse Prevention (aSAP) was pleased to join with the National Institute on Drug Abuse; National Association ofState Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors; National Prevention Network; Project Star, Kansas City, Missouri; Project I-Star Indianapolis, Indiana; Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services/Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services; Missouri Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; and the New York State Division of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse to sponsor the First National Conference on Prevention Research Findings, March 26-30, 1988, in Kansas City, Missouri. The conference brought together an outstanding group of prevention researchers, policy makers, and service providers. This monograph presents a synthesis ofthe presentations and information exchange that occurred during the conference. aSAP's philosophy and approach has been collaborative, and we encourage such efforts as a model for comprehensive, community prevention. Knowledge transfer should take place in an atmosphere of partnership within local com­ munities. In developing this monograph we joined in a collaborative network that models what we hope State, regional, and local communities will continue to create in actively addressing the crisis of alcohol and other drug abuse. This publication is the third in a new series of aSAP monographs that are being issued to communicate state-of-the-art information across the entire prevention and intervention spectrum. We hope these monographs will facilitate knowledge transfer and thereby improve prevention and intervention programs across the Nation. Elaine M. Johnson, Ph.D., Director Office for Substance Abuse Prevention iii Preface The idea for this FirstNational Conference on Prevention Research Findings: Implications for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program Planning evolved from a collaborative relationship between the Office for Substance Abuse Prevention (OSAP), the National Prevention Network (NPN), and the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) provided support for convening the planning committee. These groups had previously joined forces to produce the First National Preven­ tion Profile Survey, which assessed how, where, by whom, and on what, alcohol and other drug prevention monies (Federal, State, and other funds) are being utilized. The survey estabHshed the attributes of high quality prevention pl'ograms and assessed the training and technical assistance needs of States and communities. This study represents the status of prevention programming in FY 1986 and is available from the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI). As a part of this project, OSAP and NPN identified, through a national nomination and selection process, 20 exemplary community prevention programs. Representatives of these programs were brought to Washington, DC, for a national press conference in October 1987. Summaries of these projects have been made available to all interested State and community agencies from NCADI. In the process of preparing the First National Prevention Profile Survey and selecting 20 exemplary prevention programs, some members of NPNINASADAD and the OSAP staff recognized the need to bridge the gap between the prevention research world and the world of the ''hands-on'' prac­ titioner and community prevention organizer. The long delay in the dissemina­ tion, diffusion, and transfer of knowledge from prevention research to the community implementor needed to be shortened. For example, there may be more than a 2-year lag from the time a research project is completed to the time that the findings appear in the scientific literature. From that point, it may be at least another year or so before those findings are widely disseminated and plans begun to integrate the approach into planning and action at the State and community level. Even then, ad­ ministrators and practitioners may wait for a number of researchers to report their findings in a particular area before adopting a particular preventive intervention approach. Hence, OSAP, NIDA, NASADAD, and NPN staff sought to reduce the delay between reporting preventive intervention research and its translation into practical programming. The need to act promptly given the current national v focus on the primary prevention of alcohol and other drug use and abuse has been a major concern. OSAP and NIDA selected preventive intervention researchers and NPN and NASADAD identified the major State and local prevention planners and im­ plementors. Thus was born the idea for this conference, whose goals were to bring together alcohol and other drug abuse prevention professionals with their research counterparts to learn about recent findings in the field of prevention research: their practical applications, their relevance for the design oflocal and State programs, and their implications for the development of a national prevention plan. Another goal, and one of equal importance, was to facilitate communication between the prevention professionals

  • Teleconference Summary: "Working
    NCEA National Center on Elder Abuse TELECONFERENCE SUMMARY “Working with the Faith Community on Elder Abuse Prevention” Mary Twomey, Moderator San Francisco Consortium for Elder Abuse Prevention Introduction Clergy are often the first professional group people turn to when they have personal problems.1 Studies show more people turn to the clergy than all other helping professions combined. As congregations grow older, clergy will be confronted more and more with issues of elder abuse, neglect, and self‐neglect.2 Reporting elder abuse is often both a legal and an ethical mandate for faith leaders. In March and April of 2004, the National Center on Elder Abuse sponsored two nationwide telephone conferences on the topic of working with faith communities as elder abuse “sentinels” – key professionals, in frequent interaction with older persons who can be helpful in identifying abuse and connecting victims to services. Funding was provided through a grant from the U.S. Administration on Aging to focus on the development of partnerships that bring together groups and organizations that may not have otherwise worked together for the benefit of seniors. The two teleconferences held on March 23 and April 1 included a total of seventy participants from across the United States and Canada. Special guest presenters included: Lisa Curtis, Director, Denver District Attorney’s Economic Crime Unit Elizabeth Podnieks, Ph.D., Chair, Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse, Ontario, Canada 1 Clebsch, W. A., Jaeckle, C. R., Pastoral Care in Historical Perspective, New York: Jason Aronson, 1983. 2 Throughout this paper, the term “elder abuse” shall be construed to include abuse, neglect and self‐neglect of both seniors and adults with disabilities.

The stories had to be based on a series of illustrations, however, such as one where “a woman has her hands squeezed around the throat of another woman whom she appears to be pushing backwards across the banister of a stairway.”[1] Around the same time, another psychologist named Starke Hathaway asked subjects to reply “True,” “False,” or “Cannot Say” to a collection of 550 items, including “If the money were right, I would like to work for a circus or carnival.”[2] Within the answers to such questions, both men saw the key to understanding the human personality. Murray’s personality test was a “projective” one premised on human irrationality and complexity, whereas Hathaway’s was rigidly empirical, premised on human rationality and transparency. Despite the dubious nature of these tests and their strikingly dierent aims and assumptions about human nature and how to measure it, both soon achieved a wild popularity among personality psychologists across the globe.
