The Annual Survey helps CADCA identify the degree to which coalitions implement various components of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF)\u2014a process that is very familiar to hundreds of CADCA\u2019s National Coalition Academy graduates. Much of the survey focuses on the five SPF elements that build coalition infrastructure: community assessment, capacity building, planning, implementation, and evaluation. We also monitor whether coalition members are paying attention to cultural competence and sustainability at every step of this process. Additionally, we collect descriptive, demographic information about coalitions across the country and the activities they implement in their communities.<\/p>\n

The results of the survey provide many insights into coalition work. For example, they show whether coalitions serve predominantly rural, urban, or suburban areas; the substance misuse problems prevalent in their communities; and the number of involved stakeholders and volunteers who move the work forward. A wide range of active partnerships is certainly essential for maintaining coalition sustainability. Moreover, we use the data to inform our coalition development needs, strengthen national partnerships, and further develop and fine-tune our coalition research.<\/p>\n

Annual Survey data can also serve as a great metric for coalitions like yours\u2014<\/p>\n
