Presentation: Designing a Statewide Prevention Plan
Matthew Chinman's recent focus has been on developing strategies to enhance the prevention capacity of community-based prevention practitioners. He codeveloped the Getting To Outcomes (GTO) model and led the development and testing of several GTO-based guides that are aimed at assisting local communities in planning, implementing, and evaluating prevention programs in the areas of substance abuse prevention, underage drinking prevention, and youth development.
He is also a health science specialist at the VISN 4 Mental Illness, Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC) at the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center, where his overall focus is on developing and testing various interventions to improve the recovery of individuals with serious mental illnesses.
