In 2017, Rhode Island revitalized the system for prevention.
The system has been composed into a regional prevention coalition design which now consists of seven regions. The Regional Prevention Task Forces (RPTF) are primarily responsible for overseeing the planning and delivery of prevention activities within the municipalities that comprise the region. Each regional coalition is comprised of multiple municipal substance abuse prevention coalitions .
The primary goal for the RPTF is to reduce misuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs among Rhode Island’s cities and towns through the use of evidence-based policies, practices and programs. BHDDH Contact: Elizabeth Farrar Elizabeth. Farrar@bhddh.
