Indicated programs target groups that are exhibiting early signs of the problem behavior.  These individuals are a risk for continued or increased problems.  Indicated prevention may include programs traditionally thought of as interventions that focus on changing outcomes for individuals and targeting antecedents of problem behavior.  Indicated programs may also include diversion programs such as DUI classes, report centers, home monitoring, after-schools tracking, or supervised visitation.
