Vanessa Kennedy and Netzach Goren of the Centre for Youth Drug Studies at the Australian Drug Foundation recently published a paper that explores the types of prevention programs that practitioners in the prevention sector believe are effective with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities. Other areas of interest were the prevalence of substance use in CLD communities, obstacles to prevention work and the extent to which the evidence-base is used in the design of prevention initiatives.
