Excerpt

Emerging adulthood is commonly defined as the age period between the end of compulsory schooling and the onset of adult commitments such as gainful employment, permanent partnership, and parenthood (Arnett 2000, 2007). As a transitional period between adolescence and full adulthood, emerging adulthood is characterized by peak levels of risk-taking—such as binge drinking, illicit drug use, drunk or drugged driving, and casual sexual behavior (Claxton and van Dulmen 2013; Krieger et al. 2018; Li et al. 2016; National Institute on Drug Abuse 2017). Mental health problems, such as depression and suicidality, may also be prominent during emerging adulthood (Rohde et al. 2013; Salmela-Aro et al. 2008). These trends are worrisome and suggest that increased preventive attention is warranted for this age group. The present special issue reports a number of much-needed studies relevant to intervention development, delivery, and evaluation for emerging adults from a variety of backgrounds. Such an approach is essential if we are to recognize and attend to the escalations in risky behavior that occur during the emerging adult years. The strengths of prevention science, in terms of interrupting the progression of potentially harmful behaviors, dovetail well with emerging adulthood as a developmental context for such progression. We further discuss the developmental significance of emerging adulthood in the next section. …
