Project

Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse (DASA) Training and Evaluation

Project Description

This cooperative project provided training and technical assistance to Washington State counties and communities implementing risk- and protective-focused prevention. DASA requires counties to assess their risk exposure, prioritize prevention needs, and create and carry out an action plan incorporating promising prevention strategies. Evaluation assistance to DASA was provided, including summarizing current county activities and developing guidelines for evaluation of future county plans using a risk- and protective-focused prevention approach. To assist implementation by counties, communities, and agencies, training in foundations of the approach and assistance with developing plans were also provided.
