Applying prevention science to policy and practice around the world
About Us
Applied Prevention Science International (APSI) was established in 2013 by Dr. Zili Sloboda to collaborate with prevention leadership in research, policy and practice to bring evidence-based prevention to communities.

In addition, APSI provides consultation on the development of epidemiological surveillance systems and evaluation approaches to ensure high quality implementation.
