SAMHSA's Prevention Platform

Do you deal with issues of substance abuse as a professional or volunteer? Are you interested in learning more about the issues and becoming involved yourself? This site can help you through its informational resources and interactive tools.

The tools are designed to assist you in the following areas:

• Assessment - determining your prevention needs
• Capacity - improving your capabilities
• Planning - developing a strategic plan
• Implementation - putting your plan into action
• Evaluation - documenting the outcomes of your work.

At no cost, you can become a registered user and enjoy the benefit of saving your work and producing customized reports from it. Registration is optional and you can always use the site as an informational resource without ever registering or logging in. But registration is required to benefit from the interactive features.

Choose "Paths for New Users" if you have a known area of interest and would like to explore what the site offers. To keep it simple, we will "hide" other features of the site and save them for later.
