This event is designed to provide you with tips, tools, and resources to help you develop a comprehensive prevention plan. It is mainly intended for middle school coordinators (MSCs) who have collected information about local needs and are collaborating with school and community partners to (1) translate community data into prevention priorities and long-term outcome statements and (2) identify research-based strategies that will help achieve those outcomes. As a participant in this workshop, you will have the opportunity to review materials, participate in a series of self-guided activities, discuss course content with others, and link to additional resources.

You are ready to begin this workshop if you have (1) received confirmation of your participation, (2) visited the Orientation to Online Events website to ensure that you and your computer are prepared for this event, and (3) completed the following steps:
