This survey explores issues including how drug and alcohol education is taught in schools, what barriers teachers face in teaching prevention; and the types of training, support, and materials educators need to improve the effectiveness of their alcohol and drug use prevention efforts. Information collected includes hours spent on prevention, courses taught, how prevention is taught at different grade levels, and perceived effectiveness.
