A comprehensive, environmental approach to prevention offers a template for examining the community's existing and/or contemplated initiatives. Taking an honest inventory of the values, beliefs, and philosophies within a community can help to develop and implement comprehensive strategies to achieve prevention goals.

A Comprehensive Prevention Plan involves assessment or surveying, infrastructure and plan-building, implementation, and monitoring for continuous improvement. The first step of gathering data includes defining information to give communities a picture of health and the policies in place. Communities will then be equipped to develop the infrastructure necessary to respond proactively to prevention priorities uncovered. A strategy is created for implementing a Comprehensive Prevention Plan tailored to the specific needs and cultures of that community.

The development of specific goals and objectives, measurable benchmarks, and practical steps toward progress within each community's unique Comprehensive Prevention Plan will be outlined and prioritized. Prevention consultation will focus on helping remove barriers to progress and maximizing the effectiveness of each piece of the community's overall prevention strategy.

Engaging in a Comprehensive Prevention Planning process will also empower a community to effectively clarify, communicate, and implement consistent policies and procedures. Comprehensive Prevention Planning moves forward as a thoughtful, purposeful process, with all community members working toward common, shared goals.
