Project Description
In partnership with ADMH, Omni has developed tools andstrategies to strengthen prevention infrastructure across Alabama.
This includes designing and programming comprehensive online prevention plans that track county-level progress through the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and administering a statewide survey of young adults to better understand patterns in substance use, mental health, and underlying risk and protective factors.
These efforts help ensure that both state and local partners are equipped with the data and supports needed to drive effective, equity-centered prevention.
