Gilbert Botvin, professor of psychology at Weill Cornell Medical
College and a leading researcher in the prevention of adolescent
tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse, presented the fourth annual John Doris
Memorial Lecture on April 6. Botvin, principal investigator on numerous
National Institutes of Health-funded prevention projects that extend to
some 300 schools and 40,000 students, discussed how to translate
empirical findings into effective school-based interventions. He focused
on his LifeSkills Training program, an evidence-based approach that
builds children's social and self-management skills, along with
educating them about the dangers of substance abuse. The Doris Lecture
is named for the late John Doris, professor emeritus of human
development and founding director of the Family Life Development Center. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
