COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is part one of a four-part webinar series hosted by the Central East PTTC that focuses on implementing evidence-based prevention approaches.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration developed the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) for preventionists to identify and implement evidence-based practices appropriate for their communities. This webinar will walk through the five SPF steps: 1) Assess Needs, 2) Build Capacity, 3) Planning, 4) Implementation, and 5) Evaluation, explaining what they entail and how preventionists can use evidence to facilitate their completion. The webinar will also introduce topics such as risk and protective factors for substance use, evidence-based prevention strategies, and collaboration with other stakeholders, which will be further discussed in future webinars.
