IEP - Investing in Evidence-Based Prevention

Investing in Evidence-Based Prevention (IEP) workshop - a focused, 5-hour learning initiative developed by ISSUP to strengthen decision-making in prevention.

Directed primarily toward policy-makers, decision-makers, and funders, the IEP workshop aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by equipping participants with the knowledge, tools, and shared language needed to make informed, cost-effective, and sustainable prevention investments.

The IEP workshop was developed by Jeff Lee, and Rachele Donini, together with the Scientific Support Team (SST). 

The first session, Introduction to Prevention Science, focuses on the fundamentals of prevention, including the science behind research-based approaches and international resources grounded in research. The second session, Prevention in Action: Collaborating for Impact, explores practical strategies, challenges common myths in prevention, highlights the roles of key stakeholders, and introduces an assessment checklist to guide decision-making. 

Intended audience:

  • Policy-makers and decision-makers involved in prevention, public health, education, and social welfare. 
  • Prevention system funders and programme managers.
  • National Chapter representatives and prevention leaders.
  • Researchers and practitioners seeking to bridge science and policy in prevention.
