Since 1992, URC has worked in partnership with SAMHSA to develop and implement multi-pronged communication strategies and provide assistance in developing messages and materials for specific audiences by using the media to change public policy and focus attention on substance abuse prevention activities. URC has designed and implemented health communications and social marketing campaigns to facilitate and support changes in individual behavior and institutional and community norms and galvanize stakeholders and gatekeepers.
URC serves as prime contractor for both the program development and communications contracts.
