Abstract

There is ongoing debate over how much information about the acquisition of a target behavior is necessary before implementing primary prevention programs. The current article highlights the potential contributions of an acquisition-based approach to primary prevention. Examples of how understanding the acquisition process can benefit primary prevention are provided from a longitudinal study of the initiation of adolescent cigarette smoking.
