This Prevention Program Planning Module is modeled off of the steps and guiding principles from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association’s (SAMHSA) Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). Prevention specialists used to jump straight to finding solutions to the problems
facing their communities, but research and experience have shown that prevention must begin with an understanding of complex problems within complex environments. Only then can schools and communities establish and implement effective plans to resolve their problems.
