Increasing support for the prevention of adverse childhood experiences and substance use: Implementation of narrative change strategies in local health departments
This article reports on a $2.9 million program to promote health equity and inform narratives for the prevention of ACEs and substance use within three Midwestern communities.

A mixed-methods evaluation design included document review, in-depth interviews with program staff (N = 8) and community liaisons (N = 2), and site reports from program staff (N = 8) and their community partners (N ...
