Whilst significant gains in outcomes have been obtained in other areas of health by focusing on early intervention and prevention, in the mental health field this approach has been limited by the paucity of developmentally targeted treatment and prevention strategies. This study will provide unique information regarding the risk processes that are operating during early and late adolescence, and will inform us about how the family environment can act to modulate the impacts of biological vulnerability on risk for mental disorder. This project will contribute to our understanding of who, and what, to target in early intervention and prevention strategies.

虽然通过注重早期干预和预防，在其他卫生领域取得了显著成果，但在精神卫生领域，由于缺乏针对发展的治疗和预防战略，这种做法受到限制。这项研究将提供独特的信息，在青春期早期和晚期的风险过程中运作，并将告知我们如何家庭环境可以采取行动，以调节生物脆弱性对精神障碍风险的影响。该项目将有助于我们了解早期干预和预防战略的目标是谁和什么。
