  Drug misuse comes with serious health problems, including an increased risk of addiction. […] The good news is that drug misuse is preventable. Prevention addresses the root causes behind drug use, protects our families and young people, and stops addiction before it starts. […] According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, prevention helps people develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to make good choices or change harmful behaviors. […] Inside the continuum of behavioral health, prevention is universal, selective, or indicated. […] It’s important to know that prevention is different from harm reduction. Harm reduction seeks to minimize or remove the consequences of drug misuse while prevention aims to stop drug misuse from occurring. […] Because of these risks, prevention is the best strategy for addressing addiction, according to NIDA. There are many evidence-based programs that have been proven to improve the protective factors and to minimize risk factors for drug use in adolescents.

  https://nam.edu/perspectives/primary-secondary-and-tertiary-prevention-of-substance-use-disorders-through-socioecological-strategies/

  ABSTRACT | Rapidly rising drug overdose rates in the United States during the past three decades underscore the critical need to prevent overdose deaths and reduce the development of opioid and related substance use disorders (SUDs). […] The authors propose evidence-informed strategies and interventions across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention. […] Effectively addressing SUDs and their associated social determinants of health requires a collaborative, cross-sector approach involving not only health care systems and professionals, but also schools, social service organizations, and local communities. […] The urgency of such collaborative strategies has been underscored in an era marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has heightened society’s awareness of nonbiomedical influences on health.

• #6 Evidence-Based Prevention and Treatment Models – Drug Use and Misuse

  https://iopn.library.illinois.edu/pressbooks/druguseandmisuse/chapter/evidence-based-prevention-and-treatment-models/

  The SAMHSA framework suggests that prevention efforts should be culturally responsive, meaning that these efforts should be adaptable and relate respectfully to other cultures, and that these efforts should be able to be sustained over time. […] Given the amount of time that youth spend in schools, these institutions are vital avenues that can provide primary prevention education on the dangers of substance misuse. […] The main goal of the primary level of prevention is to prevent substance misuse from occurring and to prevent the initiation of substance use. […] Evidence of this increase risk highlights the need for early prevention, screening, and timely intervention among youth. […] The goal of the final level of prevention is to end dependence and minimize problems resulting from use and misuse.

  https://substanceabusepolicy.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13011-020-00300-7

  The risk factors for developing SUD vary across the various life stages, which suggests that individualized approaches that do not overtax behavioral healthcare workers are needed. Using SEE may foster early identification and individualized prevention of SUD. […] Identifying age-related risk factors for the development of SUD is important in recognizing individuals at risk. […] A comprehensive list of risk factors within each age group is needed to develop age-specific screening tools that can identify individuals at-risk early. […] Given that primary prevention strategies may decrease the number of individuals who develop SUD, we proposed a risk mitigation approach to the primary prevention of SUD based on age groups, which will allow clinicians to consider developmental stressors unique to each group.

• #14 Evidence-Based Interventions for Preventing Substance Use Disorders in Adolescents

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2916744/

  Knowledge of the usual patterns and the progression of substance use has important implications for the focus and timing of preventive interventions. […] Prevention programs that effectively target risk factors for alcohol and tobacco use may not only prevent the use of these substances, but may also decrease or eliminate the risk of using other substances further along the progression. […] The majority of adults with substance abuse problems begin to use substances during their adolescent years and therefore relatively few prevention efforts have focused on adults. […] Schools are the focus of most attempts to develop and test evidence-based approaches to adolescent drug abuse prevention. […] School-based prevention programs that have been tested and proven effective focus on building drug resistance skills, general self-regulation and social skills, and/or changing normative expectations regarding inaccurate beliefs about the high prevalence of substance use.

• #15 Evidence-Based Interventions for Preventing Substance Use Disorders in Adolescents

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2916744/

  Drug addiction, also called substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person’s brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medicine. […] Help from your health care provider, family, friends, support groups or an organized treatment program can help you overcome your drug addiction and stay drug-free. […] The best way to prevent an addiction to a drug is not to take the drug at all. If your health care provider prescribes a drug with the potential for addiction, use care when taking the drug and follow instructions. […] Health care providers should prescribe these medicines at safe doses and amounts and monitor their use so that you’re not given too great a dose or for too long a time. If you feel you need to take more than the prescribed dose of a medicine, talk to your health care provider.

• #20 Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Prevention of Substance Use Disorders through Socioecological Strategies – NAM

  https://nam.edu/perspectives/primary-secondary-and-tertiary-prevention-of-substance-use-disorders-through-socioecological-strategies/

  To mitigate the worsening overdose crisis, the broader health and human services system must consider the structural and social determinants behind these growing disparities. […] The authors then discuss how a socioecological framework—which considers the complex interplay among individual, interpersonal, societal, and structural factors—can offer a more comprehensive and effective means of understanding SUD prevention. […] The authors recognize the pivotal role the socioecological approach has played in shaping responses to various health conditions, including mental health conditions. […] Therefore, the primary purpose of this paper is to articulate the application of this approach and underscore its significance within the overarching context of SUD prevention. […] The primary prevention approach under the traditional biomedical model aims to avoid the onset of OUD by, for example, educating clinicians and patients on alternative modalities and non-opioid medications for effective pain management to reduce exposure to prescribed opioids.

• #22 Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Prevention of Substance Use Disorders through Socioecological Strategies – NAM

  https://nam.edu/perspectives/primary-secondary-and-tertiary-prevention-of-substance-use-disorders-through-socioecological-strategies/

  The focus on reducing opioid prescriptions may have the veneer of a less punitive and more medical approach to preventing SUD but is still a supply-side narrative. […] Service providers and policymakers should consider how they can create a health-promoting environment regardless of whether an individual has ever used drugs, is diagnosed with SUD, or engages in high-risk substance use. […] The primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention classification is somewhat ill-fitting for the nonlinear nature of addiction and other chronic health conditions, particularly if the treatment approach does not consider the social and environment factors impacting disease and health. […] The socioecological model acknowledges that more can be done to address and prevent collateral consequences and comorbidities associated with OUD, including incarceration and spread of infectious diseases.

• #23 Determinants of Health: Substance Use – MN Dept. of Health

  https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/opioids/prevention/socialdeterminants.html

  Determinants of health are the conditions within a home, family, school, and community that can impact a persons ability to be healthy. […] Substance use and overdose prevention programming can focus on a single level of the SEM, but interventions that work across multiple levels are more likely to be successful in preventing substance use and overdose. […] Preventing substance use and overdose requires a combination of upstream and downstream interventions. […] The social-ecological model of substance uses, and overdose prevention provides some examples of changes that can be made to improve access to substance use treatment, but it is important that all changes also consider how to reduce the impact of structural racism and ACEs. Prevention services that are culturally specific and trauma-informed can help to reduce health inequities and improve access to appropriate treatment for all Minnesotans.

  The misuse of legal and illegal substances has led to an increase in substance use disorder (SUD) in the United States. […] A developmental approach to the identification and primary prevention of SUD that does not fully rely upon behavioral health workers is needed. […] The purpose of this paper was to examine age related risk factors for developing SUD and present a novel individualized approach to SUD prevention. […] We proposed an approach to primary prevention of SUD based on risk factors for developing the disease according to different age groups. This approach emphasizes screening, education, and empowerment (SEE), wherein individuals are screened for risk factors according to their age group, and screening results are used to customize interventions in the form of education and empowerment.
