There are five steps for prevention planners to conduct a comprehensive approach to understand and address the substance misuse and related behavioral health problems facing their states and communities. Planning is finding out what works to address prevention needs and how to do it well and addresses what they should do and how. Assess is identifying local needs based on data and asks what the problem is. Capacity is building local resources and readiness to address needs and what do we have already in place. Implementation is delivering evidence-based programs and practices and asking how the plan can be put into action. Evaluation is examining the process and outcomes of programs and practices and asks how the plan is succeeding.
