The fields of addiction science and technology transfer are vast. The scientists and researchers in our communities are learning more about the affects of addiction and substance use disorders. They're finding ways to treat the disease, and ways to affect behaviors. The ATTC Network strives to identify these resources, and make them available through training and information sharing. One key way we disseminate information is by developing products such as curricula, videos, and pamphlets. For more information visit: http://www.attcnetwork.org/find/respubs/index.asp

Substance Abuse Resource Guide: Hispanic/Latino Americans

Studies have shown that many Hispanic/Latino youth can be considered at high risk for substance abuse problems. The rapidly increasing number of Hispanic/Latino youth in this Nation, and the multiple antecedent risk factors suggest that substance abuse prevention must be a leading priority in our Hispanic/Latino communities. In this publication, the term "Hispanic/Latino Americans" comprises populations from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Cuba, Central and South America, and Spain who reside in the United States. This term is used to represent the diversity of these problems.

Information is a primary tool in understanding the nature of substance abuse problems and effective prevention. This Resource Guide provides information and referrals to help prevention specialists, educators, and community leaders better meet the needs of the Hispanic/Latino community.

Adaptation Guidelines for Serving Latino Children and Families Affected by Trauma

In an effort to improve services for Latino/Hispanic children and families who have experienced trauma, the Chadwick Center for Children and Families in San Diego, California, as part of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), has coordinated a groundbreaking national effort to create Adaptation Guidelines for Serving Latino Children and Families Affected by Trauma. Experts in the fields of child trauma research, clinical practice, policy and cultural diversity worked together to create these guidelines that addresses a number of key priority areas to fit the needs of traumatized Latino children and families.  The priority areas range from micro issues (Assessment and Provision of Therapy) to macro issues (Organizational Competence and Policy).  The final document is designed to be viewed either in its entirety or by individual priority area.  Portions of these guidelines are geared for advocates and therapists, while other priority areas are designed for program administrators and policy makers.

The document is available for download in its entirety or by individual priority area at http://www.chadwickcenter.org/WALS.htm
