The Five Steps of the SPF
SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) is a planning process for preventing substance misuse and abuse.
The five steps of the SPF guide prevention professionals in planning, implementing, and evaluating effective evidence-based prevention efforts that reflect cultural competence and show sustainability. The effectiveness of this process begins with a clear understanding of community needs and involves community members in all stages of the planning process.
