Focusing on proximal influences has additional benefits, as risk and protective factors typically relate to several behaviors [30]. As a result, addressing antecedents can impact a range of outcomes [23]. For example, the science-based intervention that deterred disordered eating also reduced new sexual activity and riding with drinking drivers, neither of which were explicitly targeted [29]. Evidence-based programs also increase teens’ adult competency abilities, including skills in communication, problem-solving, and decision-making; which can assist in making future healthy choices [31].
