The Louisiana Department of Health received a $1,250,000 federal Project Grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program. The 5-year "2024 Louisiana Partnerships for Success III (LAPFS III)" project aims to address substance misuse challenges among Louisiana's 12-25 year old population from racially, culturally, and economically diverse backgrounds. Key goals include preventing the onset and reducing the progression of underage drinking and polysubstance use, eliminating disparities, strengthening prevention data and systems infrastructure, and increasing knowledge about mental health services to improve community utilization. The project will establish a state/community prevention collaborative to implement the Strategic Prevention Framework, utilize data-driven decision making, and deliver effective prevention strategies across 5 underserved communities in the state.
