What Works & What Doesn’t

Selecting Effective Substance Misuse Prevention Strategies

Every community is unique, and so are its substance misuse prevention needs. But how do you identify which substance misuse prevention programs, practices, and policies that will work for your community? And which strategies should you avoid because research has shown they don't work?

This 2-hour webinar will equip you with practical skills to identify, evaluate, and select evidence-based substance misuse prevention interventions that align with your specific community context, while avoiding strategies that don't work.

Learning Objectives

• List the steps to selecting a prevention intervention that meets the needs of their community
• Access at least 5 online registries for effective, evidence-based substance misuse prevention strategies
• Identify at least 5 interventions that have been shown through research to NOT be effective in preventing substance misuse

This session is hosted by the PTTC Workforce Development Workgroup as part of its efforts to support and strengthen the prevention workforce.

The recording of the presentation and any supplemental learning resources will be shared following the virtual event for those unable to attend.
