Testing risk and protective factor assumptions in the Icelandic model of adolescent substance use prevention
Abstract Iceland has witnessed a dramatic decline in adolescent substance use that may be partly the result of efforts related to the Icelandic prevention model (IPM). We sought to test risk and protective factor assumptions of the IPM using a prospective cohort study with 12 months separating basel...
