Using CAPT Tools to Understand and Prevent Youth Marijuana Use




Description
Good prevention planning depends on a clear understanding of the research base—but locating and understanding the research on emerging problems such as youth marijuana use can be challenging. The CAPT’s new suite of decision-support tools is designed to help busy, state-level decision makers and frontline practitioners understand and apply the latest research on youth marijuana use. The suite includes the following resources:
Strategies and Interventions to Prevent Youth Marijuana Use: An At-A-Glance Resource Tool
Risk and Protective Factors Associated with Youth Marijuana Use
Prevention Programs that Address Youth Marijuana Use
Preventing Youth Marijuana Use: An Annotated Bibliography

This information session will explore the purpose of each of these four documents, how they were developed, and how they can be used to guide prevention practice. Presenters will also provide specific examples of how states, tribes, and jurisdictions can use these tools with their sub-recipients.
