The Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) is a public health, outcome-based prevention approach. This five-phase approach helps coalitions move toward the goal of reducing substance misuse, risky behaviors and consequences in their communities.

the goals of the SPF for coalitions are:
To prevent the onset of substance abuse related to underage drinking
To reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities
To build capacity and provide sustainability for coalitions
To assess the community’s needs and address them accordingly
