Regional Prevention Task Force (RPTF) Coalitions, funded by the RI Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH) under the Rhode Island Substance Abuse Prevention Act (RISAPA), are required to conduct an assessment of population needs related to RI’s risk factors and behaviors for priority problems.
