Using evidence based practices for place based prevention strategies can be greatly enhanced when the work is accomplished through a Public Private partnership, whose purpose is to create collective impact. The process of building this robust partnership stems from tiered approach to engagement between funded partners, agencies involved in change strategies, community leaders and the general public. The result creates a common agenda, integrated activity and continuous communication.
