Because he has a pending case in juvenile court, Samuel is automatically enrolled in a special therapy program designed to help him resist the urge to get involved in drug use. Since studies have shown that juvenile offenders are more prone to develop dependence on drugs at some point, this program helps teens like Samuel to understand the dangers and learn other coping mechanisms instead of turning to drugs. What type of prevention would you say the program Samuel is attending falls under?
(1 point)
tertiary
universal
selective
indicated

It's targeted at a high-risk subgroup (juvenile offenders) before they develop substance dependence, rather than being universal (everyone), indicated (showing early symptoms), or tertiary (treatment after disorder onset).
