预防科学研究的重点是幼儿期和学龄期，其逻辑是，尽早处理个人和背景风险因素将防止下游风险加剧。方法和技术的进步为扩大风险探索、促进健康和干预成年初期和整个生命周期打开了大门，但预防科学仍然以对儿童和青春期早期的研究为主。本期《预防科学》特刊的文章展示了如何利用新技术接触青壮年人口，制定和提供干预措施，以及在设计干预措施时帮助考虑发展和文化背景的战略。这一问题代表着在将预防研究周期应用于新兴成年期方面向前迈出的重要一步，它提供了一个机会，通过建立不只与年龄增长挂钩的发展理论来扩大我们的视野。
Prevention science research has focused on early childhood and early school years, on the logic that addressing individual and contextual risk factors as early as possible would prevent the compounding of risk downstream. Methodological and technological advances have opened the door to an expanded exploration of risk, health promotion, and intervention in emerging adulthood and throughout the lifespan, but prevention science remains dominated by research on early childhood and adolescence. Articles in this special issue ofPrevention Scienceshowcase the use of new technologies to access young adult populations and to develop and deliver interventions as well as strategies to help account for developmental and cultural contexts in designing interventions. The issue represents an important step forward in applying the preventive research cycle to emerging adulthood, and it provides an opportunity to expand our horizons by building theories of development that are not tied solely to age progression.
