Department may engage in, but shall not be limited to, the following

statewide planning efforts. These planning efforts shall include, but shall
not be limited to, in cooperation with local community representatives and
Department‑funded agencies, the analysis and application of results of local
needs assessments, as well as a process for the integration of an evaluation
component into the system. The results of this collaborative planning effort
shall be taken into account by the Department in making decisions regarding the
allocation of prevention resources.

the risk factors listed in subsection (b) of this Section.
