Information
Organization's Own Description:
The Congressional Prevention Policy Caucus (CPPC) provides an environment within which federal policymakers have ready access to research findings and their sources, a body of experts, and a forum for debate on the cost/benefits of incorporating prevention practices and policies to inform decision-making. Further, this caucus eliminates barriers that policymakers have faced in the past when proposing to use prevention science to design effective policies by communicating evidence in non-technical terms, synthesizing the vast available literature, providing objective, non-partisan information, and providing access to scientists, practitioners and prevention policy experts in the field. By reducing these barriers, incorporating prevention science into policies and practices will become significantly less burdensome for policymakers. Finally, expert advisors available to the CPPC assist policymakers in identifying the most cost-effective preventative strategies. The CPPC provides a legislative forum within which policymakers can identify prevention strategies at the federal and state levels that warrant congressional support for their implementation and sustainment in communities.
