PROSPER produces many benefits; for the families
and youth who participate, and for their communities.
Youth learn skills to deal with the stresses and pressures
of school and peer relations. Families become closer and
learn to work together. Communities come together to
make it all happen.
In addition,
recent cost-benefit studies indicate
that evidence-based prevention programs are economically
beneficial to communities. Because there is a lower need
for the use of the court system and drug and alcohol
rehabilitation services, evidence-based interventions
like those used in PROSPER communities save money. Past
research on PROSPER family interventions suggests that
for every $1.00 the community spends on prevention
programming, they are potentially saving $9.60.
This savings represents money that would have been spent
on special education, mental helath, and drug and alcohol
treatment services.
