Prevention Science seeks to advance the prevention research and to translate scientific advances into the promotion of healthy development for all youth. Despite tremendous progress creating a robust evidence-base and set of translational tools, elaborations and expansions for equity are required. Our collective errors of omission as prevention researchers have left prevention practitioners and policy-makers without sufficient information to identify strategies that have been demonstrated to prevent behavioral health problems in young people who identify as Black, Indigenous, or other People of Color (BIPOC). We first describe the current shortcomings of available evidence, and then we call for individual and collective action to conceptualize equity-enhancing prevention, sample more inclusively, and improve analytic approaches such that we can truly promote the healthy development of all youth.
预防科学旨在推动预防研究,并将科学进展转化为促进所有青少年的健康发展。尽管在创建强大的证据基础和一系列转化工具方面取得了巨大进展,但需要进一步阐述和扩展公平性。我们作为预防研究人员的集体疏忽,使预防从业者和决策者没有足够的信息来确定已被证明可预防行为健康问题的策略,这些策略针对的是自认为是黑人、原住民或其他有色人种(BIPOC)的年轻人。我们首先描述了现有证据的当前不足之处,然后呼吁采取个人和集体行动,从概念上增强公平性的预防措施,更具包容性地抽样,并改进分析方法,以便我们能够真正促进所有青少年的健康发展。
