We Make Prevention Science Accessible
We present evidence-based research in a way that people can understand, trust and relate to. Our tiered approach to prevention begins with increasing awareness amongst individuals, families, and communities about the problems that exist and the scientifically developed programs that are proven to facilitate positive change. Utilizing varied communication channels and working closely with schools, law enforcement agencies, healthcare providers, and legislators, we work hard to reduce public skepticism towards science and foster openness to data-driven solutions.
We Bring Data to Decision Makers
We have spent more than two decades building strong relationships with local, state, and national legislators, government agencies, and community stakeholders so that we can bring prevention science to the forefront of policymaking and social investment. Through deep economic and statistical analysis, we calculate the true return-on-investment of prevention programs to quantify long-term social benefits and tax dollar savings. We use effective language, messaging strategies, communication channels, and analytics to translate our robust scientific research into accessible formats that policymakers can use to address real-world problems.
