Science-Based
ATOD Abuse Prevention
Course
developed by Pamela Petersen-Baston, CAP, CAPP.
Since 1991 alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) use has been increasing
among America's youth. To counter these trends we must strengthen prevention
efforts at the Federal, State and local levels. Today, we are in a unique
position to effectively intervene by applying the results of more than
20 years of prevention research. This course provides an overview of the
knowledge gained from prevention research conducted by the National Institute
of Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP)
and answers questions about how these findings can be used to address
local ATOD abuse problems.
The field
of prevention has made significant progress. Science-based programs now
have the potential to significantly reduce, or, at a minimum, deter the
onset of substance use among youth. Programs and policies that focus on
data-driven content have increased the potential to achieve prevention
goals.
