Prevention Talks is a new online discussion hosted by APSI with speakers who will explore some of the current issues and their potential impact on prevention research and practice. 

This 12 video and PowerPoint resource, is a ‘learning together’ evidence-based teaching and learning series. It is aimed at assisting teachers, parents, mentors, and/or coaches to develop aspects of resilience in the emerging adult, specifically focusing on denying, and/or delaying the uptake of alcohol and other drugs.

In this webinar, the speakers discuss the role of peer support in treatment: the latest on research and practice.

In this webinar, the speakers take a look at the social and economic factors influencing addiction (particularly injecting drug use), and its impact on particularly disadvantaged groups, such as young people transitioning from out of home care and the long-term unemployed.

In this webinar, the speakers take a look at substance use among young people, focusing on the 'crossover' of children at the nexus of the youth justice and child protection systems, and the implications of caregiver substance abuse in children's involvement in the system.

Objective: This webinar marks the official launch of the EMCDDA’s foresight toolkit for the drugs field entitled How to run a trends workshop in the drugs field. The event also aims to promote a foresight approach and increase foresight literacy among the EMCDDA’s stakeholders and to take stock of current initiatives in this area and reflect on possible ways forward.

Summary of key findings

The evolving youth use of e-cigarettes in Britain is monitored using the ASH Smokefree GB survey of 11-18 year olds 2013-2022 (see Appendix 2 for methodology), in the context of changes in tobacco use and the regulation of e-cigarettes (see Appendix 1). We present the results for 11-17 year olds separately from 18 year olds. It is an offence to sell e-cigarettes to children under 18 in the United Kingdom.

On Sunday, June 26, 2022, an activity was planned online to honor the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
