abstract="Within communities across the United States, collaborations have developed between community-based organizations (CBOs) and schools to plan and implement unified approaches to prevent youth substance abuse. This article describes challenges and workable strategies reported by a diverse group of 11 community-based organizations (CBOs) for developing and maintaining collaborative relationships with schools. Strategies recommended by CBOs for effective CBO/school collaborations are described within four categories: (1) establishing the collaboration; (2) maintaining cooperation with schools during program implementation; (3) addressing cultural issues; and (4) institutionalizing the collaborative programs. The need to tailor community prevention efforts to the specific context of each community is emphasized.<p />",
