Ciência Aplicada de Prevenção internacional (APSI) foi formada para ajudar os elaboradores de políticas nacionais e internacionais e profissionais para aplicar a ciência de prevenção para abordar o uso de substâncias e outras questões relacionadas dentro das suas comunidades. Trabalhando em colaboração com organizações internacionais, APSI fornece aconselhamento, consulta e serviços para apoiar a interface entre ciência, política e prática, incluindo o desenvolvimento e coordenação de projetos; formação com base em ciência e certificação de profissionais de prevenção; e esforços de avaliação e pesquisa no uso de substâncias. O objetivo geral é contribuir para o desenvolvimento de profissionais treinados que podem implementar as intervenções e políticas de prevenção com provas científicas mais eficazes.

During the talk you will have the opportunity to hear from three renowned researchers and experts in substance use prevention:

Implementing evidence-based prevention programming at the community level warrants the support and involvement of many community resources—schools, health care providers, families, children and social services, faith-based organizations, and law enforcement, to list but a few. |
As prevention professionals, we are fortunate today to have a collection of evidence-based strategies and interventions that have been shown to work effectively to prevent substance use and other problem behaviors. The origins of this effective prevention toolbox are the result of over 30 years prevention research, which has provided rigorous scientific evidence of prevention methods that can achieve the best outcomes.
