COMPASS (Community, Parent, School, Student) is a science-based approach, which builds on the belief that community coalitions can prevent alcohol and drug dependency as well as reduce youth crime rates. This can be accomplished by early identification of individual, family, school, and community risk factors. By building a web of protective, evidence-based prevention strategies and services, change can take place.
