The MPG includes information about scientifically proven prevention and intervention programs that target problem behaviors among youth. To be included in the guide, programs must focus on one of the following problem behaviors: delinquency, violence, youth gang involvement, alcohol, tobacco and drug use, academic difficulties, family functioning, trauma exposure or sexual activity/exploitation and accompanying mental health issues.
Eligible programs can fall anywhere along the youth services continuum from prevention to aftercare. They can include, but are not limited to delinquency prevention, probation, youth court, restitution programs, community service, day treatment, drug courts, gun courts, school-based programs, conflict resolution, family therapy, parent training, mentoring, residential treatment centers, restorative justice and home confinement.
