The core of the concept is the fact that identifying risk and protective factors and recognizing their interrelation is the basis of well created prevention programs. Risk factors are all inner and environmental circumstances of an individual that increase the probability of developing behavioural disorders, whereas protective factors are all inner and environmental circumstances of an individual that decrease the probability of developing behavioral disorders. The concept of risk and protective factors is one of the most commonly used concepts for prevention of behavioral disorders, and an essential element of all concepts for prevention of behavioral disorders starting with the concept of resilience to the newer concept of mental health promotion.
