Research and experience have shown that prevention must begin with an understanding of complex problems within complex environments. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration developed the Strategic Prevention Framework to help communities (including college and university campuses) more effectively address substance use disorders and mental health concerns.

Useful in many types of individual and community engagement work, this model considers the complex interplay between individual, interpersonal, organization, community, and policy factors that impact attitudes and behaviors, helping to clarify the range of both risk factors and protective factors that may be involved. The overlapping rings in the model illustrate how factors at one level influence factors at another level.
The model also suggests that in order to prevent harm - which is at the heart of our work - it's necessary to act across multiple levels of the model at the same time. This approach is more likely to sustain prevention efforts over time and achieve positive population-level impact.
Closely aligned with the Social Ecological Model, this tool describes a range of activities specific to effective prevention. Used nationally in prevention initiatives, including violence prevention and injury prevention, it provides a framework for a more comprehensive understanding of prevention, including six levels for strategy development.
