Ongoing Research Support

RO1 (DA13709) 09/01/2007 - 08/31/2012
National Institute on Drug Abuse
Partnership Model for Diffusion of Proven Prevention
This study examines youth problem behavior reduction resulting from partnership-assisted interventions (Aim 1). In addition, partnership processes are assessed to identify factors that positively affect (a) the success of the partnerships from partner and outsider perspectives, (b) the quality of implementation of interventions, and (c) institutionalization of the partnership (Aim 2). Modeling of partnership and intervention-related change mechanisms are planned. Results will guide application of the partnership model to other communities in Iowa and Pennsylvania, and subsequently, to other states.
