    A primary goal of school-based health centers is to reduce the occurrence of high-risk behaviors and mental health problems commonly exhibited by adolescents. This paper provides a review of national best practice prevention strategies for common adolescent problems including school dropout, violence, and other high-risk behaviors. Specific prevention programs, currently in use in Louisiana school-based health centers, are described and linked to national best practice.
