CHEER provided technical assistance from October 2015 to September 2018 for every Meth/Suicide Prevention Initiative (MSPI) and Domestic Violence Prevention Initiative (DVPI) program in the Billings Area alongside the Indian Health Service under a contract with the Rocky Mountain Tribal Epidemiology Center (RMTEC). CHEER assisted MSPI and DVPI programs to create data measurement tools, design evaluation strategies, and complete their Local Data Collection Plans.
