Mid-Year Training Institute July 24th - 28th
If you are attending the CADCA conference, please stop by and visit the MyPrevention staff. This year, MyPrevention is teaming up with EMT Associates to introduce Indicators of Substance Abuse Consequences (ISAC-CA). ISAC-CA is an interactive, web-based data tool that provides easy-to-use and up-to-date information on the health and social consequences of alcohol and drug abuse for California county populations. State and county data can be broken out by year, age, gender, race/ethnicity, and underlying cause. This tool is designed to provide information for prevention planning, needs assessment, grant writing, community education and evaluation. Watch the video below for more details. You may access the system at no-cost at www.AODindicators.org.
