Abstract:
Researchers in applied social science are seeking ways of approaching the facilitation of community-based development at the grass-roots level. Much research to date has focused on negative social aspects in communities, such as substance abuse and high numbers of school drop-outs. An innovative approach was developed that involved looking instead at successful individuals in communities. Individuals identified as successful were interviewed about the factors they associated with their own success. The experience of supportive parenting during their childhoods and moderation in alcohol and other substance use as adults were strongly correlated with success in life. The interview process provided an effective springboard for discussions and the development of intervention strategies at the community level.
