One Choice Prevention: A Message of Hope and Science
Description
This webinar from the Northwest and Southwest Prevention Technology Tranfer Centers (PTTCs) presents the One Choice Toolkit, a free resource for prevention leaders working with youth of all ages.
One Choice is not a program but a framework. Analogous to other standards that promote teen health, the standard for substance use is One Choice: no use of any alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, or other drugs by youth under age 21 for reasons of health.
Data show that for American youth, all substance use is closely related – and that the percentage of young people making the decision not to use any substances has been increasing for nearly four decades. The One Choice Toolkit offers data, graphics, and ideas and activities to help communities create social norms campaigns, amplifying the voices of youth who are making One Choice to be drug-free.
Objectives
By the end of the webinar, participants will:
- Articulate the One Choice prevention message and the brain science and national substance use trends behind it
- Identify ways the One Choice message can be successfully integrated into youth-led prevention activities and prevention education materials
- Access the One Choice Toolkit and brainstorm new resources that could enhance the integration of the One Choice message among prevention groups
