Across many domains of health and welfare, there have been remarkable advances in prevention where public-health models have had a significant impact. Psychology has much to offer in building on these successes and we describe some excellent examples, but in general, it has not been fully engaged with prevention science and implementation. We set out some of the key challenges and opportunities for psychology and prevention science in contemporary practice, recognizing that often the rhetoric from governments to support prevention interventions do not match up to making the necessary resources available. We argue that psychology must prioritize this area of practice as there is evidence that the gains of recent decades may be under threat without concerted efforts.

展望未来

在卫生和福利的许多领域，预防工作取得了显着进步，其中公共卫生模式产生了重大影响。在这些成功的基础上，心理学可以提供很多东西，我们描述了一些很好的例子，但是总的来说，它还没有完全与预防科学和实施相结合。我们认识到了当代实践中心理学和预防科学的一些关键挑战和机遇，认识到政府支持预防干预措施的言辞往往与提供必要的资源不符。我们认为，心理学必须优先考虑这一领域的实践，因为有证据表明，如果不采取一致的努力，最近几十年的成就可能会受到威胁。
