For this virtual briefing, the National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives <https://link.quorum.us/f/a/6LijP1lOKi5q6pVCz7XDBA~~/AACYXwA~/RgRn5p1kP0QdaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnBzY29hbGl0aW9uLm9yZy9
XA3NwY0IKZfyHGARmSimQ-FIdaGVpc2VuaG91ckBjby5qZWZmZXJzb24ud2EudXNYBAAAAAA~> (NPSC) will convene internationally recognized experts on State-Level Systems to Deliver Youth-Focused Prevention
Programs in Communities. Co-sponsored by the Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center at Penn State University.
The scope and magnitude of current challenges facing youth and their families in the United States demand effective preventive solutions. Scientific evidence is a critical tool for revealing
what prevention strategies work best within various settings for individuals and communities. The field of prevention science has provided the basis for effective strategies that have
been shown to interrupt pathways to negative outcomes and improve behavioral health and wellbeing among our youth. Such evidence helps decision-makers determine the most effective and
cost-efficient means to invest public dollars in creating nurturing environments and equitable opportunities for our young people to thrive.
This briefing will feature prevention experts who will present a blueprint to guide decision-makers at all levels with specific actionable steps for building and sustaining an infrastructure
that supports the delivery of effective preventive strategies to promote healthy outcomes in our youth. Integral to such an infrastructure is the availability and utility of registries
that house prevention programs meeting standards for a designation as “evidence-based.” These databases also provide information vital for states and local governments to make decisions
regarding how best to invest precious resources. Funding needs and strategies to support this infrastructure will also be outlined, demonstrating cost-benefit analyses of prevention
programming that establish their return on investment. Finally, in recognition of the fact that introducing innovation is a process, the briefing will include discussion of the barriers
to widespread program implementation and recommend state level policies to support the financing and infrastructure (including workforce development and data interoperability) needed
to overcome these barriers and for promoting behavioral health.
This virtual briefing will be of interest to legislators/staffers, state and local agencies, healthcare providers, prevention practitioners, educators, medical boards, foundations, funders,
community, state and national organizations, and researchers. Please join us for this important conversation and share this announcement with your colleagues and networks.
