Registration is open for CADCA's next satellite broadcast, titled "Bringing
Effective Prevention to Every Community." Tune in August 1, 2002, from 1:00
- 2:30 pm ET. Every day, more and more substance abuse prevention
organizations prove that prevention works. The SAMHSA Model Programs have
been tested in communities and schools across America, and have proven to
prevent or decrease substance abuse and other high-risk behaviors.
Recurrent issues and concerns surrounding Model Programs will be addressed
during this 90-minute broadcast.
Tune in when the expert panel will:
· Debunk the myths and learn about the various resources available for
selecting and implementing SAMHSA Model Programs
· Identify the core components of Model Programs and the issues
surrounding adaptation and fidelity
· Share state and local level experiences with implementing Model
Programs
· Provide an overview of the Model Programs currently available
· Review projects underway that will provide additional assistance to
those attempting to select and implement Model Program

<p>These live training sessions are available at no cost to you from any site
with a satellite dish that has C-band or KU band capabilities (schools,
colleges, local access/cable television stations, National Guard armories,
etc.). All viewing sites must register in advance to receive the necessary

HECNews is a conduit for all press coverage related to alcohol,

Negative news coverage of these issues is pervasive and may serve to
reinforce exaggerated misperceptions of actual substance use norms.

Our awareness of this news coverage should strengthen our resolve not
only to address AOD problems on campus, but also to advocate for news
coverage that draws public attention to the responsible majority of
college students.
