COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is part three of a four-part webinar series hosted by the Central East PTTC that focuses on implementing evidence-based prevention approaches.
With the many substance use-related issues currently facing preventionists, and the often-limited prevention resources available, it is vital that stakeholders select and implement evidence-based prevention strategies to address them. This webinar describes and walks through the different kinds of evidence-based strategies, how to determine which strategies will be the best conceptual and practical fit for a community, and how to modify strategies during the implementation process.
