Can physical activity and exercise prevent drug abuse? : promoting a full range of science to inform prevention. [electronic resource]

(CIT): The objectives of the meeting are (1) to share the state of the science -- in epidemiology, basic science and neuroscience, and intervention research -- focused on physical activity as a strategy to prevent substance abuse; (2) to facilitate development and testing of new trans-theoretical paradigms for prevention; and (3) to promote future research in these areas through unsolicited grant applications and responses to targeted solicitations. We are conceptualizing physical activity and exercise quite broadly, including activities such as healthy leisure, active play, outdoor adventure, team sports, martial arts, and restorative recreation.
