Label each resource as “primary”, “secondary”, or “tertiary”. Example: Primary prevention for substance abuse includes D.A.R.E programs in schools.IV. Service Gaps/InterventionsDescribe one resource that is not currently available in your area but would be valuable in improving outcomes for your chosen population. Discuss the impact you think this resource could have, including at least one reference that supports this impact.
