Abstract:
Preventing chronic disease is critical for society. Behavioral factors are often responsible for explaining much of chronic disease etiologies, yet engagement in health-protective behaviors is low. Intention to engage in behavior has been considered a critical determinant of behavior, and is supported by ample correlational evidence. Nevertheless, much of the correspondence between intention and behavior is among nonintenders who subsequently do not act; there is considerable variability in behavior performance for intenders. Thus, action control—the translation of positive intentions into behavior—is a crucial consideration for health behaviors. This chapter proposes several pathways in which affect may determine action control for protective behaviors such as physical activity and healthy eating. The three main affective processes include reflective affect, manipulated affect through volitional regulation, and reflexive affect. Carefully designed future studies should help support or falsify several of the proposed pathways suggested in our model of affect and action control.

Full text
Abstract:
Attempted and completed suicide among older adults are global public health challenges of escalating significance. This chapter presents epidemiological data on such behaviours, and addresses the risk factors in the domains of mental health, personality, physical health and functioning, social factors (e.g. life events and social support) and neurobiological mechanisms, as derived from retrospective (mainly psychological autopsy [PA] studies) and prospective case-control studies. Suicide prevention initiatives in the elderly have taken a great stride forward in the past decade based on better understanding of the risk and protective factors. Given the complex, multi-determined nature of suicidal behaviours, further improvements will require sustained collaborations across clinicians, researchers, health administrators and politicians in different nations. Furthermore, older males are generally at higher risk of suicide than females; they tend to use more lethal means in their suicide acts, are more susceptible to the effects of bereavement and widowhood, and respond less favourably to comprehensive suicide prevention programs. Further research on the gender differences of suicidal behaviours is urgently needed, to understand the different underlying psychopathological mechanisms, and to adequately address the healthcare needs of older men, the largest group of completed suicides across the world.

Abstract:
It is widely believed that participation in organized sports and physical activity offers protection against the negative social influences that can lead to problem behaviour and experimentation with tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. It also widely believed that youth who engage in regular physical activity are more likely to adopt other healthy lifestyle behaviours. This chapter critically evaluates these assertions by summarizing the empirical research evidence on the relationship between sport, physical activity, and nine other health behaviours in youth. It shows that sports participation and physical activity are indeed related to other health behaviours, but the strength and direction of the associations are dependent on the health behaviour under examination, the child’s age, gender, race/ethnicity, and the nature of the sport or physical activity.

Abstract:
Research has documented a strong link between perceived racial discrimination and various health outcomes among African Americans. These outcomes include health status and health-relevant behavior. This chapter focuses on the relation between the stress associated with perceived racial discrimination and health-risk behavior, primarily substance use and abuse. The chapter examines a variety of factors thought to mediate this relation, the two primary ones being negative affect and self-control. Research has shown that discrimination has an impact on both factors, and these in turn directly affect substance use. The chapter also examines several factors that have been shown to moderate the discrimination–health relationship. In addition, the chapter reviews research examining moderators that can be either risk-promoting or protective. Some research identifying individuals who appear to respond in a favorable or healthy manner to perceived discrimination is also reviewed. The chapter concludes with recommendations for future research.

Full text
Abstract:
Strategies to protect against excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation are required to reduce the risk of melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancers, and eye diseases. The programs that have been most effective in reducing sun exposure involve combinations of education intended to change individual beliefs and behavior, tools for personal protection from the sun, and the creation of environments that support sun protection. Specific strategies include community-wide media campaigns, school-based interventions, counseling by healthcare providers about sun protection, education on the appropriate use of protective clothing and sunscreen, and policies to restrict access to indoor tanning beds. Sun protection strategies are most effective when introduced in childhood, although interventions in adulthood can also reduce skin cancer incidence. There are health risks of complete sun avoidance, so a balance between inadequate and excessive sun protection is necessary.

Abstract:
There is currently no unifying model of prevention for all impulse control disorders. As with many other mental health problems, individuals with impulse control disorders frequently share a host of comorbid disorders with common antecedents, symptoms, and risk factors. It is argued that a comprehensive approach to the prevention of impulse control disorders rests in the adoption of a general mental health prevention framework associated with other psychiatric disorders. Specific programs currently available for the prevention of impulse control disorders are discussed. The adoption of prevention programs targeting multiple and general risk behaviors and the promotion of programs that enhance protective factors leading to resiliency for children and adolescents are advocated. Universal prevention programs designed to enhance self-regulation and promote positive development are presented within a risk protection framework.

Abstract:
Alcohol misuse on college campuses is an ongoing national public health concern. For many young adults, the transition to college is a high-risk period for the initiation or continuation of problem drinking behaviors. Contrary to assertions of diminishing influence of parents on their children once they enter college, a substantial body of recent research supports the continuing protective influence of parents on the drinking behavior of college students. This chapter reviews the empirical research literature examining parental influences on college student drinking. Recent studies on parental influence on college drinking include parenting styles, parental monitoring, parent–child communication, parental modeling and attitudes toward drinking, and parental relationship quality. Recently developed parent-based interventions designed to reduce problem drinking on college campuses are described and reviewed. Recommendations for parents of college-bound children are provided to help reduce the risk for the development of problem drinking during this important developmental transition.

Abstract:
Preventing childhood and adolescent behavioral health problems such as substance use, delinquency, violence, school drop-out, and mental health problems can reduce the social and financial costs that can occur following these behaviors. Using a public health approach, prevention scientists from diverse fields have created and tested a variety of interventions to reduce the risk factors and increase the protective factors related to these problems. A growing number of these interventions have been demonstrated as effective—that is, they prevent the onset and/or reduce the frequency of multiple behavioral health problems. However, these evidence-based interventions (EBIs) are not widely used by community-based organizations. This chapter discusses how community-based prevention systems, particularly the Communities That Care (CTC) system, can help build the capacity of local communities to implement EBIs. The core components and effectiveness of CTC are reviewed and compared to other community-based prevention systems.

Abstract:
Adolescents and emerging adults who engage in risky sexual behaviors (RSBs), such as inconsistent condom use, having multiple partners, having sex at a young age, and having sex while intoxicated or high, are at elevated risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unplanned pregnancy. The chapter discusses the relationship of acculturation (along with associated intrapersonal and interpersonal mediators and moderators) with RSB outcomes. Acculturation can be a protective or risk-enhancing factor for RSBs among adolescents. Intrapersonal variables, such as academic achievement, sexual intention, and sexual health knowledge, and interpersonal variables, such as parent, peer, and partner relationships, can act as mediators between acculturation and RSBs. The strength of these relationships may be further moderated by religiosity and gender. Implications for future research and interventions are proposed.

Abstract:
The Immune System: A Very Short Introduction describes the immune system and how it works in health and disease. It focuses on the human immune system, considering how it evolved, and the basic rules that govern its behaviour. The immune system comprises a series of organs, cells, and chemical messengers that work together as a team to provide defence against infection. These components are discussed along with the critical signals that trigger them and how they exert their protective effects, including innate and adaptive responses. The consequences of too little immunity (immunodeficiency), caused for example by HIV/AIDS, and too much, leading to auto-immune and allergic diseases, are also considered.

Abstract:
Crafting prevention and intervention strategies for peer bullying, aggression, and suicidality in youth is a complex, multifaceted task. Involvement in bullying and peer aggression is accompanied by numerous psychosocial consequences, including suicidal ideation and behavior. Care must be taken to examine this relationship in an objective, evidence-based manner, rather than overattributing or causally relating youth suicidality to bullying. Mental health professionals, medical providers, teachers, and school administrators are uniquely positioned to intervene in the risk factors that impact bullying and suicidality in youth. Taking an ecological systems perspective, this chapter will review extant efforts to ameliorate bullying, aggression, and suicidality in children and adolescents, with a focus on individual- and group-level protective factors that can facilitate positive health and academic outcomes. Recommendations for providers, educators, parents, policymakers, and researchers offer evidence-based guidance for future work in these domains.
