Adolescent  <\/span>Risk -Taking Assignment<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Goal:
\nUse the available research to develop prevention programs<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This
\nassignment requires you to use the available (scholarly) information about the
\nresearch on adolescence and risk taking to think about how you would develop
\nand implement a prevention program in one \u201crisk\u201d area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Begin with
\nthe following sources provided by your instructor:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u2022       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Dr.
\nLinda Mayes discusses the science on adolescent brain development and factors <\/span>and <\/span>risks <\/span>that <\/span>impact <\/span>decision-making <\/span>(Yale <\/span>School <\/span>of <\/span>Medicine <\/span>12 <\/span>minute
\npodcast (Teen <\/span>Brains <\/span>Wired <\/span>to <\/span>Take <\/span>Risks<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\nL. (2007). Risk taking in adolescence: New perspectives from brain and
\nbehavioral <\/span>science. <\/span>Current <\/span>Directions <\/span>in <\/span>Psychological <\/span>Science, <\/span>16, <\/span><\/i>55C59.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>See
\nhttp:\/\/bigthink.com\/ideas\/17989<\/span><\/a> <\/span>for Steinberg\u2019s discussion
\nof these <\/span>topics.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These sources
\npresent information about several biological and environmental influences on
\nteen riskCtaking behaviors (for example, unprotected sexual activity, substance
\nabuse; \u201creckless driving\u201d; teen violence, etc). The researchers discuss \u2013 at
\nleast briefly \u2013 a logic that suggests current approaches to creating programs
\nmay not be successful because they have not been grounded in the current
\nunderstanding the science of adolescent development.<\/span><\/p>\n

STEPS TO COMPLETE THIS PAPER<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/h1>\n

1.  <\/span><\/span><\/span>This project will require you to
\nfirst process, synthesize, and then summarize the information <\/b>from the
\nassigned sources. (1 page minimum, 2 page
\n<\/span>maximum)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

2. 
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>After
\nyou have finished reading and summarizing the main points from the two sources,
\nconduct further research related to prevention programs for one area of
\nriskCtaking. <\/span>(For <\/span>example,
\n<\/span>research <\/span>on <\/span>the <\/span>prevention <\/span>of <\/span>reckless <\/span>driving,
\n<\/span>substance abuse, the effectiveness of pregnancy prevention through
\nabstinence only interventions; HIV prevention; prevention of teen violence.) For
\nthis portion, you must locate at least 2 additional scholarly sources that are
\nrecent (e.g. it is 2012K<\/span> please do not
\ninclude source information older than 5K<\/span>7
\nyears old unless you have discussed it with your instructor). Here is one link
\nthat describes \u201cscholarly\u201d sources:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
