The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community to reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Please note, the journal only accepts submissions for upcoming themed Special Issues. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first–and in many cases, primary–source of information for mental health and human services development. This innovative journal is of interest not only to human services program administrators, clinical supervisors, planners, education specialists, and researchers, but also to health care and helping professionals in other fields where new methods of services delivery and new models of practice can be achieved within the community. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial Guest Editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two independent, anonymous referees arranged by the Guest Editor.
