ADAPT: Essex County Youth and LGBTQ+ Partnerships for Success - Leveraging our robust existing community-wide ADAPT Coalition, Family Connections' project, entitled ADAPT: Essex County Youth and LGBTQ+ Partnerships for Success, will service (a) Essex County youth aged 9 to 20; and, (b) Essex County residents of all ages who identify as LGBTQ+ by strengthening county-wide capacity to collect and share reliable local data and then use that enhanced data to select and implement the most appropriate evidence-based prevention programming for these populations. Our goals and accompanying objectives are: 1) Identify and close gaps in capacity to collect meaningful, local data regarding youth substance use (aged 9 to 20) 2) Prevent onset and reduce the progression of underage drinking, marijuana use, and prescription medication misuse/abuse through evidence-based prevention programming, environmental-level strategies, and policy change efforts.
