The International School Health Network is calling for contributors, reviewers and sponsors to develop a series of summaries that define and describe several topics relating to school-based and school-linked substance abuse prevention. These topics will eventually form part of an e-book version of a Practitioners/Policy-Makers Handbook on School Substance Abuse Prevention that will be prepared from materials in this knowledge exchange program.
As with other topics in this program and in this web site, it is expected that each topic will have a Glossary term (1-2 paragraphs), an Encyclopedia Entry (1-2 pages), a Handbook Section (10-15 pages with sub pages for case studies and a Bibliography or Toolbox that lists web-linked research articles, reports and resources such as educational programs, training tools and policy documents.
The following topics are anticipated as being among the topics relevant to substance abuse prevention through schools (this list is also open for amendment). The on this list with active links are already prepared in their "first draft" or "rough draft" versions. Individuals and organizations interested in becoming a writer, contributor or sponsor for any one or more of these topics should contact dmccall@internationalschoolhealth.org The deadline for responding to this call is open, because the list of topics is also open for discussion and amendment.
