Prevention Strategies

Jump to: navigation, search

Substance abuse prevention strategies can be broadly categorized into three core functional domains: (1) Individual Focused programs are designed to alter the knowledge, attitudes and ultimately motivation of potential abusers; (2) Behavioral Alternative programs provide opportunities for responsible behaviors while fulfilling developmental and social needs; Access Control policies, and their enforcement, seek to restrict the access of the AODs or risky ancillary behaviors. It is quite common that these core domains are supported by Community Action programming and structures.1
