Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF-SIG)

About the Project

The project will implement a county-wide needs assessment on behalf of the Hillsborough County Anti-Drug Alliance to determine gaps in substance abuse prevention and treatment resources and to develop a comprehensive strategic plan to guide future efforts. The needs assessment will address both children and adults and will include focus groups of current consumers of prevention and treatment services, key informant interviews with agency administrators, funders, and other policymakers, and a survey of community providers of substance abuse prevention and treatment services.

The goals of this project are to assist the Hillsborough County Anti-Drug Alliance to: (1) collect and analyze community resource data to produce an effective strategic prevention plan for the County related to substance abuse prevention and treatment services, (2) examine current services provided in the area of substance abuse prevention and treatment, and existing knowledge application and development processes, (3) identify gaps in substance abuse prevention and treatment services, and (4) to identify potential strategies for more effectively providing substance abuse services in Hillsborough County.
