Environmental Strategies Online Course

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center (UDETC) is pleased to launch the second in a series of on-line distance learning courses.  These courses aim to provide law enforcement and community organizations with valuable, no-cost training that focuses on the reduction of underage access to alcohol.

This two-hour online course is designed as a basic-level familiarization to environmental strategies targeting the reduction of youth access to alcohol and a foundation for follow-up on-site training provided by UDETC.  The course provides basic strategies and information on assessing community needs and applying science-based strategies.

Specifically, the course helps participants:

• Understand the difference between individually focused prevention and environmental prevention
• Understand the importance of taking an environmental approach to address alcohol and other drug problems.
• Use environmental strategies to reduce youth access to alcohol.

This is the second in a series of on-line courses developed by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center.

The newest course in this series is “Environmental Strategies” and is now available.
