# Information and Dissemination in Support of Community Interventions

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
Successful dissemination and translation of alcohol prevention research into community-based practice is an essential
component of the “Environmental Approaches to Prevention” Research Center Grant. Over the past five years, Center
Grant staff took steps to achieve this overarching goal through two major activities: (1) they met with county and
community practitioners involved in the 24-city randomized trial (Component #2: “Environmental Prevention Strategies
to Reduce Community Alcohol Problems”) to learn more about what types of environmental alcohol prevention strategies
the practitioners were working on, and to determine what additional information and skills they needed to implement
evidence-based interventions (e.g., alcohol policy enforcement and related visibility activities); and (2) they used that
information to develop dissemination methods and products. These included: (a) documents and tools to guide
practitioners in selecting the evidence-based intervention strategies best suited to their needs; (b) a Resource Link website
hosted by PRC that allows anyone to access these tools and documents; and (c) a newsletter to capture and publicize
successful intervention activities in the intervention communities and elsewhere. For the renewal of Component #2:
“Information and Dissemination in Support of Community Interventions,” we will build on our experiences from the past
five years to enhance our dissemination capabilities and reach a broader audience of community prevention practitioners,
policymakers, and organizations/agencies across the U.S. We will update the Resource Link website with interactive
features (including posting webinars and providing an opportunity for users to contact the research staff directly), and use
digital technology to optimize the number of times that Resource Link is returned in Internet searches. We will use digital
social media (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube) to broadcast information about Resource Link, including publicizing
webinars and new resources to general and target audiences. At the same time, we will work closely with other PRC
scientists to identify and develop dissemination products related to new research results, including findings from the
proposed Center Grant components. We will work with other organizations that can act as “information brokers” to
effectively disseminate research findings from the Center Grant and other PRC projects. Finally, we will obtain feedback
from a panel of experts who review the new products and interactive tools on Resource Link and related webinars. In
summary, the specific aims for the Information and Dissemination Component are to: (1) disseminate scientific materials
based on key research findings from past and on-going PRC projects to general audiences and to an expanded list of
targeted audiences (e.g., increasing the Resource Link website’s interactivity by conducting and adding digitally-recorded
webinars); (2) provide technical assistance...
