Finding the Balance: Program Fidelity and Adaptation in Substance Abuse Prevention. A State-of-the-Art Review.

PB2004101354

Publication Date	2002
Page Count	86
Abstract	The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and its Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) are committed to bringing effective substance abuse prevention and behavioral health promotion programs to every community in the United States. We recognize that evidence-based prevention initiatives rapidly are being called upon to replace programs that provide no evidence of substance abuse effectiveness or solid science. As we gain more knowledge about efficacy and effectiveness of prevention and behavioral health promotion, it becomes more important for us to make that information available to prevention service providers across the country. The report provides the latest information about individual model programs and important syntheses of research and evaluation findings across multiple prevention programs. It describes a comprehensive system that SAMHSA is using to ensure optimal use of these programs in communities across America. This report will be of use to officials at all levels of government; to prevention researchers and practitioners; and to parents, educators, community youth workers, and faith leaders who insist on bringing the most effective prevention practice to those with whom they work and care most about.
