...You'll Want to Hear Kelly's Advice

Campus Drug Prevention recently debuted the 2025 edition of the Prevention With Purpose web series, with videos featuring prominent members of the prevention field highlighting the steps of the Strategic Prevention Framework.

This week, Kelly Truesdell, Associate Director for Substance Use and Recovery Services at the University of Virginia, walks you through Step Four: Implementation.

Adaptation describes how much, and in what ways, an intervention, program, or practice is changed to meet local circumstances.
