Attendees will learn about progress made by the HEAL Prevention Cooperative pdf 16.04 MB, an HPI program that includes 10 research projects and a coordinating center working to develop preventative interventions in diverse settings (e.g., tribal communities, emergency department, school based health centers, child welfare system, juvenile justice system, behavioral health centers) among young people ages 15 to 30.
