Prevention plus II: Tools for creating and sustaining drug-free communities
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Substance Abuse Prevention
This comprehensive resource gives an overview of planning ATOD prevention initiatives and offers case studies of model community prevention efforts. The manual emphasizes the role of the community as a catalyst for, and coordinator of prevention activities with ATOD prevention measures reinforced through a drug-free community. Successful prevention efforts must target factors in multiple environments - individual, interpersonal, global - that contribute to ATOD abuse. Specific prevention strategies should address individuals, peer groups, parents, schools, the media, and the law. Planning steps for prevention include conducting a needs assessment, establishing prevention goals and objectives, identifying resources and funding sources, allocating leadership tasks, implementing the program, evaluating, and revising. Extensive appendices list program directors, resources, and planning steps.
