Nurturing Nurturing Communities

Over the past thirty years, behavioral science research has brought us to the point where we can have historically lower levels children’s psychological, behavioral, and health problems. The challenge is to use what has been learned to help our communities nurture the wellbeing of every person. In this talk, Dr. Biglan will describe how we can bring all sectors of the community together to nurture everyone’s wellbeing.

Anthony Biglan, Ph.D. (Senior Scientist)

Anthony Biglan is a Senior Scientist at Oregon Research Institute. His work focuses on comprehensive interventions that have the potential to prevent an entire range of child and adolescent problems. He is a former president of the Society for Prevention Research and was a member of the Institute of Medicine Committee on Prevention, which released its report in 2009 documenting numerous evidence-based preventive interventions that can prevent multiple problems. He has conducted research on the development and prevention of child and adolescent problem behavior for the past 35 years. His work has included studies of the risk and protective factors associated with tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use; high-risk sexual behavior; and antisocial behavior. He has conducted numerous experimental evaluations of interventions to prevent tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use, high-risk sexual behavior, antisocial behavior, and reading failure through family, school, and community-wide interventions. His book, The Nurture Effect: How the science of human behavior can improve our lives and our world, describes how behavioral science research over the past fifty years has brought us to the point where it is possible to evolve a society in which virtually every person is living a productive life in caring relationships with others.
