Hallman Lecture: How did Iceland transform rates of adolescent substance use over a 20 year period?

The Hallman Lecture Series presents:

Iceland began ‘upstream’ prevention initiatives in the mid 1990s and to date they have seen massive reductions in the use of cannabis, alcohol and tobacco amongst youth – results not seen anywhere else in the world. What are the key elements of their sustained success that could boost upstream prevention efforts in Canada?

Professor Kristjansson is part of a team in Reykjavik that has created and implemented one of the most systematic, multisectoral and effective programs in the world. He will address both the ongoing research project and the details of program implementation.
