Most Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) program manuals include scripts for implementing your intervention to youth or adults individually or in groups, increasing implementation flexibility and program reach.
While the individual script allows for the most tailored and perhaps effective intervention, the group script is the more efficient strategy for program implementation.
Individual implementation of PPW screening and brief interventions may also be reimbursable by commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid: https://www.samhsa.gov/sbirt/coding-reimbursement#:~:text=Reimbursement%20for%20screening%20and%20brief,insurance%2C%20Medicare%2C%20and%20Medicaid
Implementation in Groups
Using your program’s group script, you can provide a PPW intervention in any K-12 school health, physical education, or academic classroom.
You can provide it in after school, summer school or community education classes, sports, recreation, camps, Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs, and home.
PPW programs can also be provided in groups of college students in dorms, classes, health fairs, and wellness centers.
PPW programs are provided to US armed forces members like the Air Force.
PPW programs for adults can be provided in worksites, recreation, sports, wellness centers, gyms, and weight loss settings.
Implementation Individually
Using the individual script, Prevention Plus Wellness programs can be implemented to youth and adults one-on-one.
This can include to youth in lieu of school suspension for a drug use infraction, for at-risk youth by school or community nurses or counselors, during wellness checkups and sports physical examinations in school and community medical settings, and to individuals in juvenile justice programs.
Similarly, PPW programs can be provided to college students for campus drug use infractions, and to young adults in college and community health care and clinical settings.
PPW programs can also be provided to students in schools and colleges by excusing individuals from a class for a one-session PPW program or after classes to provide the most customized version of PPW programs.
Video & Online Implementation
Some PPW programs have been translated into video and self-paced online course formats.
These program options allow cost-effective and broad-based implementation to youth and adults individually as well as in groups without the need for program implementer training.
