Strengthening Leadership in Prevention: Insights from the Development of an Evidence-Based Workshop

ISSUP Global presents its webinar titled “Strengthening Leadership in Prevention: Sharing Insights from the Development of an Evidence-Based Workshop.” This webinar introduces the concept and rationale behind the Investing in Evidence-Based Prevention (IEP) workshop - a focused, 5-hour learning initiative developed by ISSUP to strengthen decision-making in prevention. Directed primarily toward policy-makers, decision-makers, and funders, the IEP workshop aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by equipping participants with the knowledge, tools, and shared language needed to make informed, cost-effective, and sustainable prevention investments. The session shares results from the IEP pilot, which brought together 18 participants from 17 countries. Insights from pre- and post-training evaluations, as well as focus group discussions (FGDs), helped assess the workshop’s impact on participants’ knowledge and understanding of prevention science. The feedback gathered through this process has been used to refine and strengthen the workshop materials, ensuring a better fit for future regional adaptations — including the forthcoming Italian, Spanish, and French versions. Learning outcomes: By attending this webinar, participants will be able to: Understand the purpose and framework of the IEP workshop and its role in strengthening evidence-based prevention systems. Recognise how evidence can inform more cost-effective and sustainable prevention investments. Identify key insights and lessons learned from the IEP pilot. Appreciate the importance of shared language and cross-sector collaboration in advancing effective prevention globally.
