Investing in Evidence-Based Prevention: Moving Beyond Good Intentions to Proven Strategies

Despite significant investments in prevention initiatives worldwide, an important question remains: Are our efforts creating meaningful and lasting impact?

Evidence-based prevention encourages professionals to move beyond activity-driven approaches by applying the best available scientific evidence to strengthen protective factors, reduce risk factors, and improve long-term health outcomes.

As part of the APSAAR Congress 2026, ISSUP will deliver a dedicated workshop, "Investing in Evidence-Based Prevention: Moving Beyond Good Intentions to Proven Strategies." The workshop will provide an opportunity for prevention professionals to explore the principles of evidence-based prevention and discuss practical strategies for translating research into effective prevention practice.

Participants will engage in interactive learning, exchange experiences with international and regional experts, and strengthen the knowledge and competencies needed to design, implement, and evaluate prevention initiatives that create measurable impact.

The workshop reflects ISSUP's commitment to advancing a competent prevention workforce and supporting the implementation of evidence-informed approaches across diverse settings.
