COURSE DESCRIPTION

The fourth step to implementing a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to prevention is to implement specific programs or environmental strategies. This implementation process should be based on an already-developed action plan, utilize available capacity, and address specific prevention needs. When necessary, it should also include making any cultural adaptions required to ensure relevancy and appropriateness. This webinar will describe and walk through different kinds of evidence-based programs and environmental strategies, how to determine the best conceptual and practical fit of different interventions, and how to modify interventions to meet desired needs. It will also walk through ways that technology can be used to support the implementation process.
