The Prevention First Leadership Center Strategic Prevention Framework series consists of five webinars focused on SAMHSAs Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a five-step, data-driven planning process. This series was originally offered to Leadership Centers.
Webinar Two: Assessment
The goal of the assessment is to gain a better understanding of local substance-related problems and ground planning in actual needs and resources. The data collected during the assessment assist in identifying and prioritizing the substance misuse problems that exist in their community, as well as clarifying the impact these problems have on community members, identifying the specific factors that contribute to these problems, assessing readiness, and determining the resources needed to address those factors.
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the data-driven aspects of the SPF, including sources, methods, and process.
- List components of a community/service area definition and description
- Identify data to collect about the problem, including consumption patterns, consequences and contributing factors
- Analyze data to prioritize problems, develop a problem statement and conduct a problem analysis
- Explain how to assess community resources and readiness
- Recognize ways to report findings
