This training provides a focus on cannabis policy and how it impacts and should inform how we plan, implement, and evaluate our cannabis prevention strategies.
Participants learn basic policy literacy skills necessary to be aware of and understand the cannabis policies passed in their state and communities, including how to identify the components of cannabis legalization policies that impact the risk and protective factors we have prioritized in our prevention work.
The training examines the different layers of policy: federal, state, municipal, and organizational, and how we can have an impact through prevention. Finally, participants see examples of how we can identify intervening variables and local conditions impacted by state legalization policies, and how we use the strategic prevention framework and the Seven Strategies of Community Change to map out prevention strategies to address them.
This is a recorded webinar from June 30, 2022/CEU's are not provided for recorded webinars.
