NIDA Prevention Principles
NIDA Prevention Principles, According to the NIDA, “Prevention programs aimed at general populations at key transition points, such as the transition to middle school, can produce beneficial effects even among high-risk families and children” (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2003, p. 4). Also Identifying these key transition points is important as you develop programs for your local community. Can you think of a time when a prevention program may reach students before they engage in dangerous behaviors? Perhaps before prom? Or graduation?
