Using Opioid Settlement Funds: Planning for Prevention & Measuring Impact

As states and jurisdictions continue to plan for the use of opioid settlement funds, it is critical that they consider the importance of primary prevention strategies, impact measurement, and sustainability. In the first part of this webinar, briefly hear from Prevention Institute about how decision-makers can leverage primary prevention in opioid remediation activities and how they complement and strengthen harm reduction, treatment, and long-term recovery strategies. Also learn from a team at RTI International about the considerations for monitoring, evaluating, and tracking progress and outcomes of strategies and activities facilitated through the use of opioid settlement funding over multiple years. Explore principles for effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and hear how decision-makers at the state and community level can adapt and apply an M&E Framework to ensure transparency, accountability, and sustainability.
