Introduction

How can addiction counselors help make the general community in which they work aware of the risks associated with drug and alcohol abuse?

By understanding drug abuse behaviors and the common elements found in research on effective prevention programs, drug and alcohol counselors can appropriately enhance protective factors and reduce risk factors in their community (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2003).

This week, you will focus on evaluating multiculturalism and diversity in frameworks for prevention program development. You will also apply prevention principles to an addiction program.

Objectives

Students will:

  • Evaluate multiculturalism and diversity in frameworks for prevention program development
  • Apply prevention principles to an addiction program

NIDA and SAMHSA

In this week’s Learning Resources, you considered prevention frameworks offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Although these frameworks can inform addiction program development and provide you with insights regarding the key factors for addiction prevention programs, they also consider multiculturalism and diversity differently.

To prepare for this week’s Discussion, complete the following:

  • Review the excerpts from Preventing Drug Use Among Children and Adolescents: A Research-Based Guide for Parents, Educators, and Community Leaders and the article “Strategic Prevention Framework,” and consider how each text addresses multiculturalism and diversity.……………………………………………………………………………………………………

    The Program for Prevention Program Development that Effectively Addresses Multiculturalism and Diversity

                The effective prevention of drug abuse in the community can be achieved through effective prevention programs that take into consideration the diversity and multiculturalism among the community members. Drug abuse affects people across ages and cultures. Therefore, between NIDA and SAMHSA, the NIDA program offers and effective program for prevention of drug abuse in the community level.

                The NIDA program is comprehensive, detailing the risk factors across the different age groups and cultures. For example, in its prevention principles, NIDA identifies the risk and protective factors among the people of different gender, ages and ethnicity (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2003, p. 6). In its first principle of prevention, the author discusses the risk factors at family and individual levels, while highlighting the same at school and college levels.

              Although the SAHHSA program focuses on the multiculturalism and diversity (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration., n.d.), the program does not offer much depth and details on the various age categories. The prevention strategies under the SAMHSA program are generic and does not identify age and family categories, focusing on generalized interventions, unlike the NIDA program, which goes further to identify the risk and protective factors across the family levels and age categories. The in-depth analysis of the prevention principles, the risk and protective factors across the age categories, cultural levels and the mode of deliveries of the prevention programs, makes the 

Postby Day 4 an explanation of which frameworks for prevention program development (NIDA or SAHMSA) more effectively addresses multiculturalism and diversity and why. Support your answer with the literature from the NIDA and the SAHMSA.

Netanel (1996) talks about the NIEP theory approach to copyright and the democratic paradigm. Explain the difference between these in your own words. Lessig (2008) talks about read-only (RO) and read/write (RW) culture. How can copyright facilitate both of these?

chapter one Introduction A ‘‘Largely Ignored Paradox’’ The u.s. supreme court has famously labeled copyright ‘‘the engine of free expression.’’1 Copyright law, the Court tells us, provides a vital economic incentive for the creation and distribution of much of the literature, commentary, music, art, and film that makes up our public discourse. Yet copyright also burdens speech. We often copy or build upon another’s words, images, or music to convey our own ideas effectively. We cannot do that if a copyright holder withholds permission or insists upon a license fee that is beyond our means. And copyright does not extend merely to literal copying. It can also prevent parodying, remolding, critically dissecting, or incorporating portions of existing expression into a new, independently created work. Consider The Wind Done Gone, a recent, best-selling novel by African American writer Alice Randall. Randall’s novel revisits the setting and characters of Margaret Mitchell’s classic Civil War
