Identifying and Interpreting Alcohol, Cannabis and Opioid Research

This is an Online Course event.

A Google search for "Cannabis" reveals over 500 million results in about half a second. The exact search in Google Scholar results in 934 thousand of scientific articles. And this is just online information. It's essential to remember that not all research related to alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs is reliable or relevant. Critically evaluating sources of information to ensure that reliable data is used in program planning and decision-making is essential. Fortunately, this doesn't have to be as tricky as it sounds. Identifying and Interpreting Alcohol, Cannabis, and Opioid Research is an online course designed for coalition members, municipal leaders, prevention professionals, and others working to prevent substance misuse in their communities. Upon completion of the course, participants can identify reputable, relevant research articles related to alcohol, cannabis, and opioids and apply a process to review, interpret, and correctly reference research to support prevention goals.
