Home > Evidence-based drug prevention practice: Evidence-based drug prevention practice:An e-learning course for allied health practitioners working in drug prevention and education.

The National Documentation Centre on Drug Use will be running this 12 week course beginning on 3rd of March 2010. The aim of the course is to teach a group of drug prevention and education workers a range of information literacy skills which help them understand how evidence in their field is produced, how this evidence can be found and how research-based knowledge can be used to shape policy and bring about better health outcomes.

The course will comprise 7 modules and will require 90-100 hours from participants, including contact and study time. Most of the course work will be online but there will be 3 face-to-face sessions; one full day at the beginning of the course, one half day at the mid-point of the course and one half day at the end of course.

The course will end in the last week of May 2010.
