That would be in the long version of our recommendation. In the example of cognitive behavioral therapy in schools, we were looking at 81 studies. They're all in there and summarized. If someone, an expert as yourself, wants to dig in, the information is there. On the evidence, I did also want to add that we have occasionally had insufficient evidence findings.

A recent one was on multi-tiered trauma-informed school programs, meaning you have a universal component where you're reaching all children in the school, a tier two mild symptoms, a tier three more intensive, And there, unfortunately, there was just a lack of evidence. It didn't mean that the intervention isn't effective. It meant that we don't have the body of work to help guide us.

So the studies found reduced PTSD, but they weren't a rigorous study. So occasionally there will be insufficient, and that would be one where we just can't tell you.

So I am over in the land of universities and I encourage my faculty to use this resource to help them get up to speed on what is known and where if they want to test new interventions with their community partners, kind of what is the jumping off point? I think Amy can speak more directly to how this is used in calls for proposals and evaluation.

So depending on the intervention, we'll sometimes even use international studies, but it depends on the body of evidence and what the expert group that's working on that particular topic feels are sort of like conditions, settings, and interventions. And if we have 81 studies, we don't have to go back very far.

We have to watch our bandwidth and resources in terms of how frequently we can go back to any particular intervention, but this is a very dynamic space and the ways in which we're tackling some of our public health problems today are different from how we might have done it 20 years ago. So we're guided by the what is it we're studying and what seems like a comparable set of interventions.

We talked earlier. Oh, go ahead, Tom.

Well, we're constantly, continuously looking at different topics and they're in different stages of review. So we're prioritizing the next ones. We get a theme, cognitive behavioral therapy in schools. The program staff go and they say, well, there's kind of these two different types along with our expert group, universal and targeted therapy.

then we that's actually ends up making we're going to do two separate reviews so it it's somewhat organic so it'll depend on the complexity of the topic how quickly we can do the review

I want to come back to something Clarence said earlier, because to me, when communities are thinking about, for example, their opioid settlement funds, this is the perfect time to be going to the community guide.org and thinking about the many ways and populations for whom you could start to tackle substance use prevention at different stages.
