Integrating school-based prevention programs like PAX-Good Behavior Game and Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) can improve student social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. This approach enhances efficiency and sustainability in schools.
Area of Science:
- Prevention Science
- Educational Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- School-based programs positively impact social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes.
- Accountability pressures often limit non-core curriculum activities in schools.
- Existing prevention models can be integrated for enhanced effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe an integrated approach to school-based prevention.
- To leverage effective components of social-emotional and behavioral health interventions.
- To demonstrate the integration of PAX-Good Behavior Game and PATHS curriculum.
Main Methods:
- Described an integrated approach based on public health and prevention science models.
- Combined structural and content elements of social-emotional and behavioral health interventions.
- Detailed the integration process of PAX-Good Behavior Game and PATHS into the PATHS to PAX model.
Main Results:
- Integrated interventions are expected to yield additive and synergistic effects.
- Anticipated greater impacts on multiple student outcomes.
- Expected increased efficiency, easier implementation, and greater sustainability.
Conclusions:
- The PATHS to PAX model exemplifies an integrated approach to school-based prevention.
- Integrated programs offer a promising strategy for improving student well-being.
- Further research is needed to explore the implications of integrated prevention models.
