What is the Connection to Infectious Disease? What is the Connection to Opioid Misuse Prevention? What are the Shared Risk Factors? What Can We Do?  

Watch here. This webinar recording is from a regional webinar training delivered by the South-Southwest Prevention Technology Transfer Center and was recorded on June 25, 2019. This webinar focuses on the Continuum of Care to identify the role of prevention in Mental Health First Aid. The substance abuse preventionist can expect to identify how the Mental Health First Aid course interventions address prevention at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of service.

Measuring Cultural Factors Associated with Substance Misuse and Mental Health in American Indian and Alaska Native Populations provides information on measures that prevention practitioners and evaluators can use when evaluating substance misuse prevention programs that include cultural elements. The measures are divided into two main sections: (1) those that can be used for research purposes without further permission from the author; and (2) those that will require you to contact the measure developer for permission to use the questionnaire and to access the complete scale items. Within each section, measures are organized by overarching conceptual themes.

As part of a strategic planning process, practitioners need to select prevention strategies or interventions that address those risk and protective factors associated with their prioritized substance-related problem(s). This document summarizes evaluations of prevention strategies and interventions associated with binge or heavy episodic drinking, as identified in the prevention research literature. It also provides recommendations for using the prevention research to inform strategy selection.

The nonmedical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) has become an increasing public health concern in the United States, with abuse rates rising rapidly since the late 1990s. Yet preventing and reducing prescription drug misuse represents a major challenge for several reasons. First, we know less about the factors that contribute to NMUPD than about those that contribute to other drug use. Also, because of how prescription drugs are made available, these factors may differ from those that are associated with alcohol misuse and illicit drug use. This tool provides a starting point for understanding those factors that the research literature has identified as being associated with NMUPD and its consequences. Understanding these factors can help us assess, plan for, and select interventions designed to address them. The factors included in this tool have been organized according to the socio-ecological model, a multi-level framework that allows us to consider the different contexts in which risk and protective factors exist.
