ACT NOW!!! is a community drug prevention initiative rooted in an asset mapping exercise that serves as a foundation for identifying effective intervention strategies. The presentation emphasizes leveraging insights gained from this mapping to form a coalition dedicated to executing four intervention programs

The increasing challenge of drug abuse necessitates innovative strategies for effective prevention. The ALAB-BBM program introduces a dynamic anti-drug mechanism aimed at developing community-based prevention programs for children of persons who use drugs (PWUDs). This approach combines data-driven decision-making, community engagement, and adaptive interventions to create sustainable impacts.
