Preventing Drug Problems

Preventing Drug Problems

1. What are your views on prevention of drug problems in Canada? Can it be done? How would you do it? What focus would you give to “supply side” strategies? To “demand side” strategies?

2. (In Canada) What do you think about the social determinants of health – as powerful as they are in determining how people do over the life course, can social policy and political action be effectively directed to improving the determinants of health for Canadians and other around the globe? Is it reasonable to base an approach to preventing problems related to addictive behaviours on the determinants of health model?
