Supporting Community Collaboration for Preventing Substance Abuse in Hawai‘i

The Hawai‘i Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) website is an ongoing collaboration between the Hawai‘i State Department of Health’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division and the University of Hawai‘i Center on the Family. Our goal is to increase the understanding and implementation of high quality substance abuse prevention strategies in Hawai‘i's communities. We hope to facilitate and support a statewide prevention infrastructure that will become a sustainable part of our communities.
