Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Provide a networked system of prevention centers located throughout the state designed to provide training, technical assistance and information dissemination about utilizing science-based approaches to prevention.  The Regional Prevention Centers (RPC's) will employ information-communication technology to keep the field apprised of all new funding opportunities, research and other news.  Each RPC will be charged with maximizing regional prevention efforts by performing a coordinating role and to increase the effectiveness and visibility of prevention of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and abuse within the region.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

95% of youth, adults and community-based organization will be satisfied with assistance provided by RPC's.  100% OF RPC's will provide community councils to attend the statewide prevention conference.
