SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION

AHP helps the federal government, states, communities, and organizations apply research-based, culturally appropriate strategies to prevent substance abuse. Through technical assistance, training and education, social marketing, and customized resource development, AHP helps concerned clients implement well thought out, effective prevention programs. For example:

  • AHP senior staff helped create the National Center for the Advancement of Prevention (NCAP), a project of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention to develop, synthesize, and apply science- and practice-based prevention knowledge.

  • For Providence, Rhode Island, AHP worked through the Mayor’s Drug Council to provide technical assistance for youth development programs, develop educational materials, and guide strategic planning.

  • AHP guided the development of a strategic plan for Marlborough Boys and Girls Clubs of Marlborough, Massachusetts, including programming for substance abuse prevention that won financial support from the state.
