“…These evidencebased kernels are the fundamental, irreducible unit of behavioral change. Kernels are strategies that are low cost, provide immediate benefits, are easily replicable, flexible for competing demands, easily marketable, and ultimately alter risk and protective factors (Embry, 2004). These kernels exist in many aspects of our lives.…”

“…However, observers suggest that few such programs are actually implemented at the local level (Embry 2004). Several interventions designed to encourage local providers to utilize science-based programming have been implemented in recent years (Biglan et al 2004;Partnerships for Success 2003;SAMSA 2007).…”

This paper provides the opportunity to consider local challenges to implementing science-based programs. Wandersman et al. (American Journal of Community Psychology 2008) define three systems necessary to effectively implement science-based programming. These systems include the Prevention Support System, which is responsible for assisting communities in implementing effective practices; the Prevention Research System, which is responsible for developing and packaging prevention programming; and the Prevention Delivery System, which is responsible for delivering services. The authors conduct a content analysis related to six county level efforts to implement science-based programs in Ohio. These counties are part of a larger Ohio initiative referred to as Partnerships for Success. The authors suggest that local officials are quite skilled at accessing the Prevention Research System and providers at the local level represent an effective service delivery system. The authors contend that the Prevention Support System in these counties is capable of enhancing several functions related to local infrastructure but is deficient in other important elements.

“…Evans and Schamberg found childhood poverty negatively affected working memory in young adults, and the memory deficits may have been biological consequences of chronic stress (Evans & Shamberg, 2009). Embry's findings on the effects of stress on youth brain development and behavior have informed the development of interventions to supplant the perceived rewards of aggression and other antisocial behaviors (Embry, 1996(Embry, , 1999(Embry, , 2004. In the absence of effective interventions, stress has shown to be a factor in youth aggression and violence.…”

Abstract:The Healing Species program aims to reduce disruptive behaviors at school by increasing students' abilities to avoid conflict when possible and to resolve conflicts peaceably when they occur. The program's 11 lessons incorporate elements of behavior theory that postulate behavior follows belief. This study hypothesized that 5th and 6th grade students who completed the Healing Species curriculum would show fewer normative beliefs favoring aggression, greater empathy, and fewer disciplinary infractions, than a comparable group of students who did not receive the Healing Species program. Lessons included the participation of rescued dogs to emphasize compassion, empathy, responsibility, and forgiveness. Study results offered evidence of improved overall behavior and specific reductions in violence and aggression.
