Tucker’s Law & Best Practices in Youth Substance Misuse Prevention

Due to the dangerous rise of fentanyl and other substance use among youth, Texas and other states have recently enacted legislation mandating substance misuse prevention education in schools. This webinar covered provisions of Tucker’s Law in Texas, resources offered by CATCH Global Foundation to meet its requirements, and best practices in youth substance misuse prevention that are drawn from behavioral theory and practice. This webinar was co-hosted by the Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living at the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health in Austin and CATCH Global Foundation.
