Research, Programs, and Policy

Program/Event Details:
Cognitive-Based Integrative (CBI) Programs have been developed based on cognitive neuroscience models that help to reduce adolescent risk behavior to reduce injury hospitalization and fatality. Public Health Behavior Solutions is highlighting these on National Injury Prevention Day to welcome organizations, hospitals, public agencies, and universities with these CBI program conducted virtually as well as in-person throughout the year. Six different programs to empower individuals, parents and teens with the skills to improve health, behavioral choices and success.

The CBI programs:

1. Decreases risky behavior in adolescence at the primary and secondary levels of prevention, including early sexual behavior, drugs/alcohol use (including fentanyl exposure), and thrill seeking such as street takeovers/drifting, speeding, riding unrestrained, distracted driving, gang affiliation, DUI, etc.

2. Benefits those who have been exposed to family dysfunction, abuse and trauma, including parents, teens and professionals of authority.

3. Reaches at-risk youth (juvenile probation), ages 17 and younger who have violated state penal codes, including truancy, tobacco, graffiti, drugs, trespassing, daytime and nighttime curfew, riding a bicycle without a helmet, etc.

4. Provides a benefit to adolescents, aged 18-24, who are interested in learning how to make choices, that they will not regret later. This is helpful to college students, as well as those of this age group who are in the workforce.

5. Provides expectant and new parents with lifestyle intervention for those who are interested in promoting healthier role modeling and parenting.
