SUMMARY:Reducing Risk Factors for Youth Substance Misuse on the Road to Prevention Success
DESCRIPTION:Reducing Risk Factors for Youth Substance Misuse on the Road to Prevention Success\nHow can we prevent substance misuse unless we understand what places kids at greater risk of misusing drugs? During this 2-hour webinar\, we will explore the risk factors that place youth at greater risk of substance misuse\, as identified by the Social Development Research Group through systematic reviews of the research literature. Time will be spent exploring each risk factor to ensure that preventionists understand the meaning of each factor to address them effectively. This training will build on the information shared during the Great Lakes PTTC webinar on the importance of protective factors (October 8\, 2026).  Protective Factors webinar information. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the importance of focusing on both increasing protective factors and decreasing protective factors\nList the criteria used to identify factors that place youth at greater risk of substance misuse\nUnderstand the nuances that exist for each risk factor\nPut the risk factor framework into action in their communities

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 Surprisingly\, many communities continue to use outdated\, ineffective\, or even harmful prevention practices despite decades of research showing they fail to deliver.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
