The Substance Misuse Prevention course at Stanmore School of Business was a great learning experience for me. I liked how the course was structured, with each module building on the previous one to provide a thorough understanding of the subject. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the discussion forums were a good way to interact with fellow students and share perspectives. One thing that stood out to me was the focus on cultural sensitivity and the importance of adapting prevention strategies to different community contexts. I found this really helpful in thinking about how to apply what I learned in my own work. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, and I appreciated the inclusion of research articles and policy briefs. While there were some areas where I felt more depth or examples would have been useful, overall I was satisfied with the course and feel more confident in my ability to contribute to substance misuse prevention efforts.
