7 Strategies for Effective Community Change ​

Strategic Prevention Framework

We operate by the guidelines of CADCA's Seven Strategies for Effective Community Change and SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF).
​Both are effective in changing individual behaviors and community conditions.
​

​CADCA's Seven Strategies for Effective Community Change:

1. Provide Information
2. Enhance Skills
3. Provide Support
4. Change Access / Barriers
5. Change Consequences, Incentives/Disincentives
6. Change Physical Design
7. Modify & Change Policies

Strategic Prevention Framework:​​

• Step 1: Assess Needs: What is the problem, and how can I learn more?
• Step 2: Build Capacity: What do I have to work with?
• Step 3: Plan: What should I do and how should I do it?
• Step 4: Implement: How can I put my plan into action?
• Step 5: Evaluate: Is my plan succeeding?

The SPF also includes two guiding principles:

• Cultural competence: The ability to interact effectively with members of diverse population
• Sustainability: The process of achieving and maintaining long-term results
