"interventions" to achieve a set of predetermined goals. Source www.cdc qov /hiv/ topics /cba/ resources /guidelines /hiv -cp /appendixD.htm. Visit www.cdc qov /hiv/ topics /cba/ resources /quidelines /hiv- cp /appendixD.htm for a definition of intervention ) More specifically, Federal grant requirements dictate that SPF-SIG Phase II consists of the implementation of Evidence -Based Programs that target the reduction in underage drinking levels among youth ages 12- 17 • Evidence -Based Programs are "approaches to prevention or treatment that are based in theory and have undergone scientific evaluation. 'Evidence- based' stands in contrast to approaches that are based on tradition, convention, belief, or anecdotal evidence." (Source: www.nrepp samhsa.qov /help- glossarv.asp.) Visit www nrepp.samhsa.qov/about-evidence.asp to learn more about "Evidence- Based." • The requirement to implement Evidence -Based Programs does not automatically disqualify organizations that currently run programs based upon traditional or innovative practices. Evidence -Based Programs can be adapted to meet local and cultural circumstances — as long as those adaptations do not dismantle the program and, thus, negatively impact the "fidelity" of the program. (Fidelity of implementation occurs when implementers of a program closely follow or adhere to its protocols and techniques. Source: www.nrepp.samhsa.gov /help- glossarv.asp.) Many Evidence -Based Programs are designed in incremental modules that can operate alongside or in tandem with current programs and activities conducted by service providers. Examples of successful underage drinking Evidence -Based Programs include: 1. Positive Action: www.nrepp.samhsa .gov /programfulldetails.asp ?PROGRAM ID =110 2.
