Our research team will determine the expected economic benefit from a prevention delivery and support system for evidence‐based preventive interventions known as PROSPER (PROmoting School/community‐university Partnerships to Enhance Resilience). PROSPER has been shown to increase efficiencies for intervention delivery as well as cultivate sustainable funding streams to support long-term dissemination. Economic impact will be based on administrative data and other markers of well-being measured as participants are followed into adulthood, following up on already demonstrated project effects for reduced substance misuse as well as reduced rates of conduct disorder among adolescents.
Importantly, this investigation will assess the expected variation in economic impact due to study implementation factors measured in detail in prior work, enabling further information for how resources may be most efficiently expended for the sake of prevention of long-term problems related to early substance misuse.
