2. The science of prevention utilizes
theories and applications from
many other fields:
• Psychology
• Sociology
• Public Health
• Environmental Sciences
3. SYSTEMS THINKING APPROACH
Individuals & Environment
Core Prevention Foundations:
•SAMHSA Strategic Prevention Framework
•Institute Of Medicine Model
•Risk & Protective Factors Theory
•National Prevention Strategy (HP2020)
8. Risk & Protective Factors
For over 20 years, two researchers from
the University of Washington (J. David
Hawkins, PhD and Richard F. Catalano,
PhD) have been examining what
contributes to or protects against a child's
developing problem behaviors.

12. SAMHSA CAPT’s & NREPP
The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services
Administration has five regional Centers for
Applied Prevention Technologies (CAPT’s) that
offer technical assistance and resources to
prevention grantees strategically placed
throughout the United States.
Additional resources are SAMHSA’s NREPP, a
searchable online registry of more than 220
interventions supporting mental health promotion,
substance abuse prevention, and mental health
and substance abuse treatment.

Editor's Notes
Prevention has at its core, scientific principles taken from the aforementioned fields.
On the one hand we have been taught to analyze, to use our rational ability, to trace direct paths from cause to effect, to look at things in small and understandable pieces, to solve problems by acting on or controlling the world around us. That training, the source of much personal and societal power, leads us to see presidents and competitors, OPEC and the flu and drugs as the causes of our problems. On the other hand, long before we were educated in rational analysis, we all dealt with complex systems. We are complex systems — our own bodies are magnificent examples of integrated, interconnected, self-maintaining complexity. Every person we encounter, every organization, every animal, garden, tree, and forest is a complex system. We have built up intuitively, without analysis, often without words, a practical understanding of how these systems work, and how to work with them. Because of feedback delays within complex systems, by the time a problem becomes apparent, it may be too late, or unnecessarily expensive, to solve...that is why evidence-based Prevention is so critical!
SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) is a 5-step planning process to guide the selection, implementation, and evaluation of effective, culturally appropriate, and sustainable prevention activities. The effectiveness of this process begins with a clear understanding of community needs and depends on the involvement of community members in all stages of the planning process. The SPF includes these five steps: • Step 1. Assess Needs • Step 2. Build Capacity • Step 3. Plan • Step 4. Implement • Step 5. Evaluation These steps are guided by the principles of cultural competence and sustainability. The SPF is designed to help States, Jurisdictions, Tribes, and communities build the infrastructure necessary for effective and sustainable prevention. Each step contains key milestones and products that are essential to the validity of the process. Focused on systems development, the SPF reflects a public health, or community-based, approach to delivering effective prevention. The SPF focuses on population-level change. Earlier prevention models usually measured success by looking at individual program outcomes or changes among small groups. For example, a prevention program aimed at middle-school students might look for individual increases in resiliency or changes across one grade level. Under the SPF, a community might instead decide to implement a range of programs and practices which could collectively produce more broad-scale change—in this case, among all participating 7th and 8th graders, instead of just one grade level. Population-level change also forces practitioners to look at the constellation of factors, across related systems, which influence substance use.
Assessment involves gathering data– Behaviors and their related problems cannot always be changed directly , so with the SPF we focus instead on addressing the underlying risk and protective factors for the behaviors and problems.
Look for trends...is problem getting better or worse over time? If there was a 100% increase in motor vehicle accidents from 2010 to 2012 in Smithtown, what would you think? But if there was 1 motor vehicle accident in 2010 and 2 in 2012 what would you think? As this example illustrates, when looking at small numbers in percentages, it may appear as if there has been a significant increase, but when looking at the actual numbers we see that the increase is very small. So use caution with small numbers .
Different criteria can be used to prioritize risk and protective factors: Importance Changeability. The epidemiological data collected during the community assessment will be used to determine importance and changeability. The most important identifiable problem may not always be the one to choose because we may lack the capacity and resources to address.
Evidence-based Risk and Protective factors exist and need to be addressed in multiple contexts.
Promotion=Integrated into entire prevention and health care system Universal=Least Expensive covers an entire group or population Selective=A subgroup, more expensive Indicated=a high risk group, most expensive approach
The National Prevention Strategy (June 2011) aims to guide our nation in the most effective and achievable means for improving health and well-being. The Strategy prioritizes prevention by integrating recommendations and actions across multiple settings to improve health and save lives. The Strategy identifies four Strategic Directions: Healthy and Safe Community Environments: Create, sustain, and recognize communities that promote health and wellness through prevention. • Clinical and Community Preventive Services: Ensure that prevention-focused health care and community prevention efforts are available, integrated, and mutually reinforcing. • Empowered People: Support people in making healthy choices. • Elimination of Health Disparities: Eliminate disparities, improving the quality of life for all Americans.
This is a great prevention tool and we have full access to SAMHSA’s CAPT resources. Additionally, as a part time SAMHSA National Trainer, I am fully engaged with all issues related to evidence-based prevention that I will always share with you, staff, and contractors for a collective impact in our community.
