Addiction Prevention: Keys to Quality and Sustainability
¡Un seminario web del ICUDDR en español!
El seminario aborda cómo lograr una prevención de adicciones que sea a la vez eficaz y sostenible, insistiendo en cerrar la brecha entre la evidencia disponible y lo que realmente se pone en marcha. Se propone un “cómo hacer” prevención basada en diagnóstico de necesidades y activos, selección de programas basados en la evidencia, buena formación y supervisión, evaluación continua y una estrategia clara de sostenibilidad. Además, se advierte contra acciones aisladas y programas sin evidencia, y se subraya que solo la combinación de calidad y sostenibilidad garantiza un impacto real.

Collaboration between law enforcement and public health is crucial for fostering community safety and well-being. Traditionally, these fields have operated separately—law enforcement focusing on crime prevention and public health addressing disease and health promotion. In this webinar, we will explore how working together allows them to tackle complex social issues more effectively, such as substance abuse, mental health crises, violence prevention, and disaster response.

Nurses comprise the largest segment of the addiction treatment workforce. However, as with many professions, there are significant disparities in access to continuing education—particularly in the area of addiction care. The Universal Nurses Addiction Curriculum (UNAC) aims to bridge this gap through a specialized educational program that equips nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to effectively prevent, identify, manage, and treat substance use disorders across diverse healthcare settings.
