As the Matanuska-Susitna Borough’s substance use prevention coalition, Thrive Mat-Su identified youth marijuana use as a key issue needing a strategic prevention initiative. In 2018, Thrive Mat-Su conducted a literature review of marijuana impacts on youth, risk and protective factors for youth marijuana use, and evidenced-based strategies for youth marijuana-use prevention that may be appropriate for the Mat-Su Borough. This presentation overviews their logic model, messaging strategies and more to share their findings with their community.
