Communities of practice are important for supporting multisectoral engagement to address community problems. In this study, communities of practice were used to support implementation of the Strategic Prevention Framework in Kansas. The findings reveal that communities of practice were used at local and state levels, and communities used integrated technology to facilitate collaboration. Additionally, the findings indicate that communities of practice facilitated practice changes across communities. These findings support previous research related to communities of practice, while demonstrating the need for increased exploration in how communities of practice can support the implementation of evidence-based prevention strategies within and across communities.KEYWORDS: communities of practicepreventioncoalitioncommunity change
