Is your community aware of its alcohol, tobacco, other drug use and problem gambling issues? Are residents ready to work together to prevent these problems among youth?
The Minnesota Institute of Public Health's Community Readiness Survey Service helps you understand adult attitudes regarding alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and problem gambling in your community. The survey will help you take the prevention temperature of your community's readiness to address alcohol, tobacco, other drug use and problem gambling concerns. You will know better how to:
- Strengthen prevention strategies in your community.
- Raise awareness of community norms and attitudes toward alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and gambling.
- Focus prevention efforts on the areas of greatest need.
