practice constitutes risk of harm

A prevention strategy is considered to be harmful if there is an indication that it causes harmful outcomes. This includes short-term outcomes, long-term outcomes, and/or unexpected outcomes. These harmful outcomes may be due to the inherent nature of the program (i.e., something about the program itself causes harm), its implementation (the way it was delivered/carried out causes harm), an interaction with certain population-related factors (e.g., causes harm for individuals with specific characteristics), or an interaction with certain context/setting-related factors (e.g., causes harm in settings with specific characteristics). Prevention strategies that demonstrate harmful effects should not be replicated.

If you are already using this strategy, immediate steps should be taken to suspend activities.

Closer examination of the research findings is needed to determine if the harmful effects of the strategy were due to the strategy itself or inadequate implementation. Until this is determined, this strategy should not be implemented or replicated.

The following resources may be helpful in identifying alternative strategies.
