Welcome to the Substance Use Prevention Evidence-Based Resource!

The Substance Use Prevention Evidence-Based Resource (SUPER) is a centralized resource designed to provide California counties, behavioral health providers, and tribal entities with clear and concise information about evidence-based, promising, and innovative substance use prevention and mental health wellness and promotion practices.

SUPER includes the following:

  • A searchable list of evidence-based and promising practices in substance use prevention for providers using prevention set-aside funds from the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Services Block Grant.
  • A searchable list featuring evidence-based and promising practices in mental health wellness and promotion that address risk factors associated with both mental health and substance use.
  • An overview of essential concepts in substance use prevention and mental health wellness and promotion, along with detailed instructions on how to effectively use SUPER.

SUPER is part of the Department of Health Care Services’ (DHCS) Big 5 by 2025 Initiative, which is developing state-level infrastructure for behavioral health prevention across California. The University of California, Los Angeles’ Integrated Substance Use and Addiction Programs has developed SUPER under contract with DHCS.
