Alcohol, Drugs and Tobacco Use Prevention Programme Explanation: "Use" can't stand alone in English without "Alcohol, Drugs and Tobacco", unlike the Spanish "Consumo". If you want to avoid repetition, you can always translate the second half of the sentence as "to prevent inappropriate use of these substances" instead of repeating "alcohol, drugs and tobacco". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2011-04-04 18:47:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, use "program" or "programme" depending on the target audience. |

peer agreement (net): +2Substance Abuse Prevention Program Explanation: Otra propuesta, que recomendaría por dos razones: (1) es una expresión muy frecuente, sobre todo en EE.UU., y concretamente en el ámbito educativo, hasta el punto de que tiene su propia sigla: SAPP; y (2) abarca el tabaco además del alcohol y las drogas. "The Substance Abuse Prevention Program (SAPP) is designed to provide education and to increase awareness in the areas of alcohol and other drug prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery. [...] SAPP's newest educational track is for the Certified Prevention Specialist (CPS). A professional with this certification is recognized as having the best education in leading strategies and programs to reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug use thereby encouraging a healthier individual and community." http://sapp.uoregon.edu/ "The Juvenile and Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention Program: an evaluation [...] Several studies have tested the effectiveness of these programs and the Juvenile and Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention (JASAP) program of Atlanta, Georgia is one of these effective programs." http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_6886/is_4_4/ai_n450626... |
