SUMMARY:Uncovering What Does NOT Work in Substance Misuse Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Uncovering What Does NOT Work in Substance Misuse Prevention\nIn the world of substance misuse prevention\, we often hear about what does work—research-backed strategies that make a real impact. But what about the methods that don’t work? Surprisingly\, many communities continue to use outdated\, ineffective\, or even harmful prevention practices despite decades of research showing they fail to deliver. This 90-minute webinar will explore the common yet misguided approaches still in use\, shedding light on why they don’t work and the unintended consequences they can create. We’ll also dive into practical strategies for prevention professionals to overcome the resistance they often face when challenging long-held beliefs and entrenched practices. Join us to rethink the status quo\, equip yourself with the knowledge to advocate for change\, and help build more effective prevention efforts in your community. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nIdentify at least 5 interventions that have been shown through research to NOT be effective in preventing substance misuse\nList evidence-based approaches that are alternatives to the ineffective/counterproductive strategies\nDescribe strategies to address resistance to discontinuing ineffective and/or counterproductive prevention strategies
