About Ohio's SPF-PFS Evidence-Based Practices Workgroup

Ohio’s SPF-PFS EBP Workgroup is comprised of prevention professionals across the state of Ohio. These prevention professionals represent state agencies, local ADAMHS Boards, institutions of higher education, prevention providers, and coalitions. The SPF-PFS Workgroup works closely with the Committee for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion during the review process to ensure that the SPF guiding principle of cultural competence is core to the work. Members of the SPF-PFS Workgroup are highly committed and meet for a full day each month to support the Ohio’s SPF-PFS Initiative.

This guidance is intended specifically for Ohio SPF-PFS Initiative Sub-recipient Grantees. However, the EBP Workgroup is comprised of prevention professionals across the state of Ohio and can be considered sound guidance for any coalition engaging in a data-driven strategic planning process for prevention.
