PRC Seminar: “Coalitions and Evidence-based Prevention: Where have we been, and where do we go from here?”

Fundamental research on PROSPER and Communities That Care suggested that community prevention coalitions could effectively reduce adolescent substance use and other related behaviors when they implemented evidence-based programs and received technical assistance.  Since then, ongoing research in the Coalition Check-Up project and Evidence2Success Framework has added to our knowledge of community coalitions, especially in the areas of coalitions’ integration of evidence-based programs and sustainability of their work.

This presentation will share some key findings across the two decades of research on these four models, sharing some examples of successes and struggles, to frame a discussion about the future of community coalitions in the prevention landscape.

This seminar is free and open to the public.
