Preventing youth substance use takes more than telling young people to "just say no.” In this episode, Sarah Stoddard, associate professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Michigan, discusses a new Journal of Public Health Management and Practice supplement on the federal Drug-Free Communities program. She explains how evidence-based prevention strategies support young people and families, how community coalitions build trust and sustain their work, and why youth should help shape prevention programs. Stoddard also reflects on the importance of primary prevention and continued evaluation as substance use patterns change.
