Time: 2:00 PM CEST | 8:00 AM EST | 1:00 PM UK
Register for the Webinar
Community-based prevention highlights community participation and empowerment and emphasizes the larger community context. This participation may take place across different phases of intervention planning; from development, to implementation and evaluation. We know that prevention strategies are more effective if there is a match with the needs of the target group.
This match can be achieved by adapting evidence-based interventions to the need of the target group, by using local data. In this webinar, Dr. Koning will discuss the challenges of community-based prevention and share tips and tricks on how to use local data in community-based prevention.
Intended audience:
- Practitioners, youth care workers, prevention workers
Learning outcomes:
-
Better understanding of community-based prevention
-
Insight into the challenges of community-based prevention
- Insight into how to use local data in community-based prevention
