School, Agency, Ministry Policy ResourceThis is a featured page

This section includes a series of pages that serve as a resource for schools, agencies and ministries to developed their school-related policies on substance abuse and other addictions. This web-based policy guide is intended to help education, health, law enforcement and other systems and agencies develop and coordinated their policies concerning the role that schools can play in preventing substance abuse. As the title suggests, these school-related policies are needed not only in the school systems but also in other sectors.

  • Policies in School Health Promotion, Safety & Social Development
    This summary was prepared by this project and is being developed further by the International School Health Network. It describes and discusses the important role that school, agency and ministry policies play in health promotion and prevention. Obviously, this includes substance abuse prevention, so we have tied this resource to that one, thereby reducing duplication.
  • A Toolbox on School Substance Abuse Prevention
    This Canadian resource includes over 200 research articles, planning and other resources as well as links to policy-related tools and reports. Consequently, rather than updating such items within the confines of this resource, we invite readers to access that toolbox. As a result, readers will be able to quickly peruse the evidence about programs that should be implemented as a result of good policy decisions.
