As this module has shown, using policy, enforcement, education, communication, and collaboration, individuals working in prevention have the tools to create or apply prevention programs in the community. Effective programs, such as the SAMHSA-designated Model Programs, have been demonstrated to be effective and can be replicated by communities.
