Project Description

This supplement compares the implementation of Communities That Care (CTC), a community prevention system to prevent adolescent drug use and delinquency, in the Netherlands and the United States. This project is conducted collaboratively by researchers from the Social Development Research Group at the University of Washington in the United States and from the Verwey-Jonker Institute in the Netherlands. This binational collaboration studies how an intervention that was developed in the United States can be implemented and adopted in a different cultural and policy context.
