The concept of resilience and closely related research regarding protective factors provides one avenue for addressing mental well - being that is suggested to have an
impact on adolescent substance use.8 — 17 Resilience has been variably defined as the process of, capacity for, or outcome of successful adaptation in the context of risk or adversity.9, 10, 12, 13, 18 Despite this variability, it is generally agreed that a range of individual and environmental protective factors are thought to: contribute to an individual's resilience; be critical for positive youth
development and protect adolescents from engaging in risk behaviours, such as substance use.19 — 22 Individual or internal resilience factors refer to the personal skills and traits of young people (including self - esteem, empathy and self - awareness).23 Environmental or external resilience factors refer to the positive influences within a young person's social environment (including connectedness to family, school and community).23 Various studies have separately reported such factors to be negatively associated with adolescent use of different types of substances, 12, 16, 24 — 36 for example, higher self - esteem16, 29, 32, 35 is associated with
lower likelihood of tobacco and alcohol use.
In the long term, those participating children are more likely to be employed and less likely to be dependent
on government assistance.9 The positive effects are larger, and more likely to be sustained, when programs are high quality.10 In addition, the
impact is greatest for children from
low - income families.11 Differences in children's cognitive abilities by income are evident at only nine months old and significantly widen by the time children are two years old.12 Children living in poverty are more likely to be subject to stressful home environments — which can have lifelong
impacts on learning, cognition, and self - regulation — while parents living in poverty have limited resources to provide for their families and high barriers to accessing affordable, high - quality child care.13 High - quality early learning programs staffed by warm and responsive adults can help mitigate these effects, offering a safe and predictable learning environment that fosters children's
development.14
Some elements of a quality program — such as teacher background checks and environmental standards — are clearly worth the cost from a health and safety perspective.32 Others, such as
low ratios and small group sizes, allow for high - quality, developmentally appropriate interactions that have a direct
impact on the socio - emotional, language, and brain
development of young children.
