Site-based prevention programs

Site-based prevention programs are strategies implemented within specific settings like schools, workplaces, or communities to reduce risk factors and promote positive behaviors. These programs focus on the environment and social dynamics of the particular location, aiming to prevent issues such as substance abuse, violence, or absenteeism before they start. By addressing the unique needs and challenges of each site, these programs foster safer, healthier environments, encouraging individuals to make better choices through education, support, and systemic changes. They are proactive efforts tailored to the context of the specific setting to achieve long-term positive outcomes.
