Coalitions, Communities and Partnerships by State.

	Community Coalitions, Communities and Partnerships by State
Kentucky	Community was defined at the county level. Thirteen Agency for Substance Abuse Policy (ASAP) boards covering all 16 selected counties were engaged during proposal development. Kentucky’s network of ASAP coalitions arose from legislation that required the development of a statewide strategic plan to reduce prevalence of substance use and to suggest aligning policies. During Phase 0 of the Communities That Heal (CTH) intervention, county-specific subcommittees or spin-off taskforces from the ASAP boards were formed for the purposes of guiding the HCS work. In addition to ASAP Boards, key partners included state and local Departments of Public Health, Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy, Kentucky Division of Behavioral Health, local opioid treatment programs, and the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet.
Massachusetts	Community was defined at the local level. In MA there are 351 local public health authorities. As such cities and towns comprised community. In some cases, smaller communities were grouped to form clusters. Initially, existing state-funded opioid prevention collaboratives from the communities of interest were engaged. However, not all communities had state-funded prevention collaboratives. Key partners included the state Department of Public Health, anchors agencies and eight community leaders from across sectors.
New York	Community was defined at the county level as well as at the municipal level. Community coalitions were not predefined. The overall goal was to establish community coalitions, whose focus would be centered on the study aims. Fifteen New York States County Health Commissioners (CHCs) (now 16) as the backbone, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), substance use disorder and other treatment and prevention providers as well as the justice system from each county were engaged as partners.
Ohio	Community was defined at the county level. Existing community coalitions were identified by local leaders (executive director of mental health boards and public health commissioner) in each of the counties. In the larger counties, substance use specific coalitions were identified, while in smaller counties, community coalitions tended to have a broader mission of the health of their communities. These community coalitions had representatives across sectors, including members from mental health, public health, criminal justice, health care providers and local media.
