Description:
The KIT Prevention Service is a database tracking software package, which is based on the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention’s (CSAP) Minimum Data Set (MDS), a nationally recognized standard. MDS is a collection of standard data elements developed by CSAP to enable states, substance abuse agencies, community-based application providers, and others to quantify and compare the number and type of primary prevention and early intervention services delivered. The use of these standards provides a consistent and comprehensive basis to collect and analyze data. Also, additional features have been added onto the MDS standard that will allow greater flexibility and customization for your state as well as easily incorporating science-based or evidence-based programs into the prevention application.

The software is designed to use a Needs Assessment to choose targeted risk and protective factors, base goals and objectives on these risk and protective factors, track prevention activities aimed at accomplishing the goals and objectives, and evaluate the progress of the goals and the outcomes (success) of the programs. In addition, the KIT Prevention Service facilitates information sharing and tracking meeting results between the Prevention Partners and Coordinating agencies.
