Abstract
In this collection, we examine the application of the ecological model in prevention programs. A review of the literature presents a historical account of the development of the model and provides a basis for the rationale behind its use. Four empirical articles then provide a method for measuring the application of an ecological framework in program design and implementation, and evaluations of programs using components of the model. We conclude that ecological programming, while popular in rhetoric, is complex in both its design and implementation. Ecological approaches show merit over one-sided solutions, but need further investigation to show when these are the most efficacious approach and when only limited adherence is optimal.
