What does Prevention by Design
do?
We are one of several technical assistance (TA)
providers to county Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD)
programs funded by the California State Department
of Alcohol and Drug Programs (DADP). The goal
of the project is to help counties move towards
research-based prevention by using the Department
of Alcohol and Drug Prevention' s (DADP) Five
Step planning process. Our
Regional Trainers provide technical assistance
to county alcohol and drug program management,
staff and their contracted providers in implementing
data-based, outcome-oriented prevention programs.

Who uses Prevention by Design?
Primarily County ADPs and their contracted providers
seeking guidance in planning prevention programs.
Our Regional Trainers can also help to support
broad-based community prevention efforts through
the Community
Prevention Institute (CPI).

How is the TA-POM/Prevention By
Design effort different from that of EMT/CARS?
Prevention By Design's services are ongoing rather
than one time, per diem services. Regional trainers
develop ongoing working relationships with county
prevention staff and help develop an overall plan
for the county.

How many days of technical
assistance am I eligible to receive?
There is no fixed allotment. Technical assistance
is provided on a flexible and ongoing basis depending
on your needs and the other time commitments of
your Regional Trainer. Trainings are sometimes
given on a multi-agency or regional basis for
maximum efficiency. Please check with your Regional
Trainer to establish a technical assistance/training
plan for your county.

How much will Prevention by Design
services cost my organization?
Prevention by Design is fully funded by federal
grant money administered through the California
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs. Therefore,
all services are free.
