2016 SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES
June 6 - 9, 2016, Worcester State University, Worcester, MA
This document contains a list of the courses offered at our 2016 Summer School in
Addiction and Prevention Studies. For the remainder of this document they will be known
as courses.
Each course also belongs to one of many smaller focus areas to help identify more
specific disciplines within the said fields.
Courses have been assigned to special focus areas that may be of interest to people who are working in a
particular discipline, or for those who wish to focus on a certain content area during their time at the program.
Most people take one different course each day, but a small number of courses meet for 2 or 4 days. Multi-day
courses are noted in their description. Courses meet during the day or days indicated after the course number:
M = Monday Afternoon (June 6 from 2:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.)
T = Tuesday (June 7 from 8:30 a.m. – 5:15 p.m.)
W = Wednesday (June 8 from 10:00 a.m. – 5:15 p.m.)
Th = Thursday (June 9 from 10:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.)
These intensive courses are the center the school program. A previous participant noted:
"I thought the number of training opportunities was very helpful. I appreciated the number of different presentations I was able to attend and the variety of the trainings. It was really a lot of material presented
in 4 days. Great value for the cost. I felt like I walked away with a lot of information."
The following pages contain a list of courses offered, which are separated by each day of the week. Once you
have identified the courses that most interest you, it is important to spend some time reviewing the descriptions
for that course.

Occasionally, due to low enrollment in a course or
extenuating unavoidable circumstances, a small number of courses may need to be cancelled, so we strongly
suggest that you select a second choice course for each day on your program registration.
