Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research aims to understand the risks faced by children through treatment of the child's ecological environment and with a systems perspective. Risk factors identified include: attention deficiency and hyperactivity, school failure, drug use, early sexual activity, and childhood depression. The multisystems perspective argues that a conceptual frame of reference that incorporates individual and contextual conditions helps determine the probability of the problem, not identifying the risk after the fact.
