Appendix A

Workshop Statement of Task

Implementing Evidence-Based Prevention by Communities to Promote Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Health in Children

Statement of Task: An ad hoc steering committee will plan a 2-day open, interactive public workshop featuring presentations on research, practice, and policy surrounding implementation of evidence-based prevention of mental health and substance use disorders in community settings aimed at improving the well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. An important component in addressing the mental and behavioral needs of children and families is implementation of evidence-based prevention, interventions, and policies in the community setting where children and their families live, work, and learn. The committee will identify specific topics to be covered at the workshop from current areas of interest including the selection of prevention interventions by communities, adaptation to local needs, methodological developments, and involvement of the community in the implementation research enterprise. The committee members will also select and invite speakers and other participants and moderate the discussions. A brief summary and a full-length summary of the workshop presentations and discussions will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.

Communities provide the context in which programs, principles, and policies are implemented. Their needs dictate the kinds of programs that community organizers and advocates, program developers and implementers, and researchers will bring to bear on a problem. Their characteristics help determine whether a program will succeed or fail. The detailed workings of programs cannot be separated from the communities in which they are embedded.

Communities also represent the front line in addressing many behavioral health conditions experienced by children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. Given the importance of communities in shaping the health and well being of young people, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in June 2016, to examine the implementation of evidence- based prevention by communities. Participants examined questions related to scaling up, managing, and sustaining science in communities. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
