Event Details

Many people intuitively believe that we all need to do more to prevent young people from experiencing the burdens of substance use disorders, but they often do not know what thatmeans. To further the confusion, what people tend to believe to be effective prevention strategies are quite ineffective, and at times, can have the opposite, and harmful, effects. Grounded in effective prevention research, this session will define ineffective prevention strategies as well as present information and research that demonstrates why these strategies should never be used by prevention coalitions. Case studies will assist attendees in understanding why well-meaning people often support ineffective prevention strategies and how we – as prevention advocates – can respond to those well-meaning people while maintaining good community relationships.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the completion of this session, attendees will be able to:

  1. Identify six ineffective prevention strategies that should never be used.
  2. Describe the reasons why certain prevention strategies are deemed ineffective.
  3. Respond to well-meaning people who use ineffective prevention strategies.
