title: Prevention and treatment of juvenile problem behavior: a proposal for a socio-ecological approach.
abstract: This study proposes a socio-ecological model representing the relation between emotional and behavioral problems of children and risk factors in the family, at school and in the peer group. An empirical examination of a sample of 150 children at risk for delinquency shows that the model explains 30-40% of the variance in problem behavior. The model is used to provide possibilities for prevention and intervention.
