Dover Youth to Youth was recently notified by the New Hampshire Center for Excellence that it has been officially designated as a “New Hampshire Promising Practice”. This designation follows a first review by an expert research panel of the results of Dover’s research into the drug prevention program’s effectiveness. Being designated as a promising practice is an important intermediate step in the process of achieving official determination as having produced evidence-based, statistically significant outcomes. Once that final level is achieved, the Dover Youth to Youth program will be listed on the NH Registry of Evidence-Based Interventions (NH-REI). A review by the Center for Excellence to consider awarding evidence based status will take place this summer. Once listed on the NH-REI and certified as a program shown to be effective, Dover Youth to Youth, and any communities looking to replicate the program, would have greater eligibility for funding opportunities.
