AB  - Two theoretical perspectives have been proposed to describe, explain, and 
      intervene in adolescent development - prevention science and positive youth 
      development (PYD). An integrative model bridging these two perspectives posits 
      that it is important to assess the extent to which the same, similar, or 
      complementary mechanisms may be responsible for preventing problem behavior and 
      promoting PYD. Therefore, using data from the 4-H Study of PYD, the present study 
      examines the role of assets in the family, school, and neighborhood in 
      differentiating trajectories of goal-optimization and delinquency in a sample of 
      626 youth (50.9% female) from Grades 5 to 11. The results indicated that 
      collective activity in the family best predicted membership for the five 
      goal-optimization trajectories while school-based assets differentiated the four 
      delinquency trajectories that were identified. The findings suggest that 
      multidimensional approaches may be most effective to promote PYD and prevent 
      problem behaviors.
