Prevention Works Through
Community Partnerships: Findings from SAMHSA/CSAP's National
Evaluation
CSAP's Community Partnership Program
began in 1990 to create or expand existing drug prevention coalitions
in communities across the nation. The Program funded 251 community
partnerships across the United States and Puerto Rico. These partnerships
included a wide array of members, such as local government, businesses,
families, local colleges, faith organizations and many other facets
of the community. After establishing these partnerships, the Program
began a 48-community study designed to evaluate the impact of community
partnerships on reducing substance abuse.
