    Description
    This course will review the history, theories, models and state-of-the-art approaches to the prevention field. It will provide experiential learning which will enable students to examine and explore their own values and behaviors as they relate to the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. Prevention programs and activities appropriate for the individual, community, campus, parent/family, and work site will be reviewed. Strategies such as public policies, media information-dissemination, ethnic and cultural specific approaches will be presented and assessed.
