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.

Webinar recorded in June 2026.

This workshop explores how intentional collaboration across healthcare, behavioral health, education, child welfare, recovery support, and community-based systems can improve outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. Grounded in the reported experiences of individuals and families navigating complex systems of care, the session will examine how fragmented communication, siloed services, and disconnected supports often create additional barriers for those already experiencing significant challenges. Participants will explore how cross-sector partnerships can reduce duplication, improve continuity of care, strengthen trust and engagement, and create more responsive, person-centered systems—particularly within rural and underserved communities. Through practical examples, real-world scenarios, and discussion, attendees will learn strategies for building sustainable partnerships that move beyond simple referral relationships toward coordinated, collaborative care.
