If your coalition has not participated in the 2016 Annual Survey of Coalitions, there\u2019s still time! Prizes for completing this year\u2019s Survey include 2017 National Leadership Forum registrations and 1-year CADCA coalition memberships. Don\u2019t miss the opportunity to be included in the largest survey of substance abuse prevention coalitions in the nation. The final deadline to complete the survey is Wednesday, August 31st.<\/p>\n
The Annual Survey is a comprehensive web-based assessment conducted annually to learn more about coalitions. CADCA uses data from the Annual Survey to advance the substance abuse prevention movement by bringing a national focus to the work of local coalitions and advocating for coalition funding in Congress to promote community coalitions as vehicles for comprehensive community change.<\/p>\n
Using data from the Annual Survey, CADCA found that the likelihood of coalition success in creating community-level changes in policy and practices increases as both the quantity and quality of coalition partnerships increase. In addition, coalitions seeking community changes benefit by expanding both the number of collaborators and deepening their involvement in implementing environmental strategies.<\/p>\n
Your participation is vitally important to help CADCA continue to find and share important connections like these. Results from our survey can highlight how your community is achieving population-level change and successful outcomes.<\/p>\n
