Informed by research, led by community.

 
 

Promoting Community Conversations About Research for Effective Solutions (PC CARES) is a community health intervention created and proven in remote tribal communities and schools in Alaska.

Learn about recent training outcomes in Alaska, or find out more about the evidence base for PC CARES.

 
 

PC CARES creates change by:

  • Translating research into community-determined solutions

  • Sharing information and ideas for prevention and wellness that apply across the prevention spectrum (universal, selective, and indicated prevention; post-vention)

  • Sparking action that works on multiple levels: Individual, interpersonal, family, school, community

 

Presentations, posters and talks


Funding for developing and supporting research on PC CARES was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (R34 MH096884, R01 MH112458 and R01 MH136768-01). Programming support provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), State of Alaska Garret Lee Smith (GLS) grant, and the Office of Substance Misuse and Addiction Prevention (OSMAP).
