Chunk #12 — Substance Misuse in North America — Personality-Targeted Interventions for the Prevention of Alcohol and Illicit Drug Misuse: the Preventure Programme
The Preventure Programme was designed to target known personality risk factors for substance misuse based on the evidence accumulated thus far on effective interventions for youth alcohol and substance misuse [52]. Unlike universal programmes that tend to universally promote generic coping skills and balance normative attitudes around substance use, this selected personality-targeted approach targets four personality-specific motivational pathways to substance misuse: HOP, AS, IMP and SS.
