Roadmap for ATOD Prevention Activities
In 2004, Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson initiated a countywide Health Disparities Summit. Community members and stakeholders identified alcohol, tobacco and other drugs (ATOD) as a key area requiring significant attention. The San Mateo County Health Department took the lead and formed a Task Force that included leaders from community-based organizations, county departments, courts and probation, health care systems, law enforcement, policy makers, schools, and youth-serving organizations, as well as representatives from the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board (DAAB), the Tobacco Education Coalition (TEC) and the Youth Commission.
The Task Force has published the Roadmap for Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Prevention: A Guide for Community Action. It includes background information, ATOD statistics, an assessment of community needs, principles for action, an action plan, and a list of existing prevention programs. The Roadmap recommends preventive actions to develop support for individuals, changing social norms around substance use, and policies that affect the availability and ease of access to ATOD.
The Roadmap is available online at www.smhealth.org/hppp. To become involved or to learn more about the initiative, contact Cristina Heinz at cheinz@co.sanmateo.ca.us or 650-573-2304.
