Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
San Diego County has a long history of chronic use of methamphetamine, and thus also has a track record in organizing an effective community response. This article discusses the formation and structure of the Methamphetamine Strike Force, and discusses its multidisciplinary collaborative problem solving model. Four strategies--prevention, intervention, treatment and interdiction--form a comprehensive set of recommendations that have guided action over the last decade. The Strike Force provides the region with a structure to mobilize its rich in-kind resources towards a shared plan of action. Data, organizing, media, policy and law enforcement are all central to the emerging model. |
