The original conveners included Kenneth A. Dodge, Thomas J. Dishion, and Joan McCord. McCord's untimely death preceded the conclusion of the panel's work, and so this report is dedicated to her memory. The panel included nationally recognized scholars (including members of the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine) from economics, psychology, political science, sociology, education, engineering, philosophy, statistics, and criminology; policymakers (including leaders of federal agencies); practitioners (including the presiding Juvenile Court Judge in Dade County, Florida); journalists; and businessmen. The panel reviewed the scientific literature; conducted site visits to intervention programs; administered focus groups with youth, interventionists, and parents; initiated several new empirical studies; completed a meta-analysis; and deliberated over the evidence. The complete report is being published in 2006 by Guilford Press. Members of the Panel were: E. James Anthony, Anthony Biglan, Al Blumstein, Philip Cook, Thomas J. Dishion, Kenneth A. Dodge, Greg Duncan, Mark Eddy, Ted Gest, Mary Gifford-Smith, Kathi Grasso, Peter Greenwood, Darnell Hawkins, Malcolm Klein, Jennifer E. Lansford, Honorable Cindy Lederman, Jerry Lee, Mark Lipsey, Jens Ludwig, D. Wayne Osgood, Winifred Reed, Wendy Reinke, Rebecca Silver, Emilie Phillips Smith, Jacob Vigdor, Hill Walker, and Melvin Wilson. The authors are grateful for funding for these efforts from the Duke University Provost's Office and the W. T. Grant Foundation.
