Prevention of risky and harmful behaviours

This track is co-produced by the European Society for Prevention Research (EUSPR).

This track focuses on preventive interventions that target risky and potentially harmful behaviours – with a particular focus on:

• Understanding what works and why and for whom: new developments in theoretical and empirical research.
• Spotlight on causal factors and aetiology; understanding the common factors and pathways that contribute to vulnerability, risk exposure and resilience.
• Spotlight on the prevention of digital addictions, its underlying mechanisms and subgroup differences.
• Underlying shared and unique mechanisms for substance use and digital behaviours.
