An environmental prevention model includes strategic use of data, community organizing, policy and media advocacy, and enforcement to bring about long-lasting change. Data are used to identify the problem, develop strategy, plan, and monitor progress. Community organizing ensures that community stakeholders are identified and involved to gain public support and change the norms. Environmental change often requires policy change whether it is mandated as in laws or regulations or voluntary via business or social policies or procedures. Media advocacy is the strategic use of media to gain public and policymaker support for policy or norms change. Finally, enforcement is essential to ensuring that the changes made are sustained over time.

The Community Prevention Initiative (CPI) provides no-cost technical assistance and training in substance use disorder prevention. CPI is administered by the Center for Applied Research Solutions and funded and directed by the California Department of Health Care Services.

The TTA project is intended to serve California agencies and organizations involved in community-based prevention. CPI is able to provide no-cost TTA support for planning and prevention services that include a broad community perspective. Specifically, the purpose of Community Prevention Initiative, is "to reduce and manage community-level risks and problems directly attributable to and/or collaterally resulting from ATOD availability, manufacture, distribution, promotion, sale and/or use."

The CARS CPI TA team works in coordination with the DHCS team and with a pool of expert consultants to provide services.
