Submit Applications by October 1, 2024 Overview: The Prevention Science Early Career Reviewer Program aims to both mentor early career researchers in prevention science and increase the pool of possible reviewers. We invite emerging prevention scientists to apply to serve a 2-year term as mentored reviewers for the journal Prevention Science. Candidates apply for the position, and as part of that application process, they identify and secure a commitment from a prevention science mentor to supervise their appointment to the review board for the 2-year period. The candidate commits to providing up to four reviews each year; the mentor commits to co-reviewing and co-authoring the review to ensure high quality reviews. The candidate will serve as the reviewer of record in the online review system.
Submit Letter of Intent by November 1, 2024. Co-Editors: The journal Prevention Science (ISSN: 1389-4986, 5-year IF: 3.6 [2023]) is soliciting letters of intent to prepare a manuscript for consideration in a forthcoming special issue entitled, “Transforming Prevention Science: Advances and Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Related Methods.” The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into prevention science holds transformative potential for advancing research, methodologies, and service delivery. From the early days of mental health chatbots in the 1960s to modern-day large language learning models, interest in how AI can shape, and advance health, has surged. This special issue will delve into the opportunities and challenges that accompany the integration of AI technologies in the prevention science field. We aim to highlight rigorous research that demonstrates applicable, ethical, and transparent research. Together, this special issue aims to provide a state-of-the-science overview and help to identify future directions for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners looking to incorporate AI into their prevention work. Our goal is to foster a deeper appreciation of the role of AI in prevention science and to inspire continued innovation in the field going forward.
