Family First: Prevention Clearinghouse Posts New Ratings
The IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse has posted new ratings for 13 prevention services. This brings the number of rated interventions to 117, 55 of which “do not meet criteria.” Only 16 are “well-supported,” 17 are “supported,” and 29 are “promising.”

NIH Research Highlights
The National Institutes of Health has released new information about two topics of interest to NACBH members: Family-Based Intervention Lowers Long-Term Suicide Risk in Youth, and Prenatal Cannabis Exposure Associated With Mental Disorders in Children That Persist Into Early Adolescence.
The first, a Case Western Reserve University study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, examined the impact of a family-based intervention called the Family Check-Up (FCU), using data from three randomized controlled trials. The FCU program was originally designed to prevent the development of substance use and conduct problems in youth by improving positive parental support, problem-solving, and communication skills.
