During this session, participants will learn about the CDC Foundation's Teen's Linked to Care (TLC) program, which focused on integrating prevention strategies to address both substance use and sexual risk in high-risk rural communities. The workshop will focus on the experiences and lessons learned from one of the implementing partners, the Portsmouth City Health Department (OH). Participants will also engage in discussion to explore the role of local health departments in preventing and responding to substance use among adolescents and share strategies and lessons learned.
