Welcome! This is a website that everyone can build together. It's easy!

Welcome to this wiki-toolbox that serves as a shared work space for researchers, non-governmental organizations and local agencies interested in tackling substance abuse through school-based and school-linked programs.

The purpose of this wiki is to collect the educational, planning, assessment tools related to substance abuse in schools. We also have a page on related news and events.

This wiki is kept up-to-date by its members and is part of an ongoing mini-network (Community of Practice) that includes:
  • the joint planning of a symposium and sessions at the annual School Health conference
  • webinars (conference calls with viewing of slides on your computer) on selected topics
  • other activities organized by the lead organizations and individuals in the Community of Practice

Alcoholism is a big problem that often ends in death, it may cause of liver disease or kidney disease, internal bleeding, brain deterioration, alcohol poisoning, it may increase the risk of heart attack,and high blood pressure, as well as cause many other health problems related to alcoholism. Heavy drinking can cause many accidents.I think every school should provide the information related to alcohal and drug so that children will be able to know how much alcohal is harmful for human being.
