Abstract
While the prevention of drug use problems comes well recommended, there is limited agreement on which preventive strategies are the most effective. Furthermore there is debate as to where activity most effectively occurs—should it be at the national or local level? In this study a university community was investigated with the aim of determining whether members of that community appreciated the need for prevention of drug use problems and which preventive strategies they deemed to be of value. The difficulties inherent in taking action within a tertiary environment are also considered and an agenda for action described. [Lockwood A, Saunders B.
