Common Barriers in Educational Settings
¨ Lack of time to add “something else” to the curriculum. ¨ Not required to teach substance use education, not an accreditation
standard.
¨ Lack of awareness, skills, and knowledge about substance use
prevention/early intervention and SBI.
¨ Not sure how to get started and what resources are available. ¨ Not sure where to include the education?
¤ separate course vs. woven throughout multiple courses, addiction specific
- vs. more general course, elective vs. required course?
¨ Lack of engaging, visual learning opportunities to supplement lecture/
didactic content.
