The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC) is an Australian centre funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health. It is located in Sydney, Australia and was officially opened in 2008. The Centre is a consortium of high quality organisations from around the country, led by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC). The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre was established in response to growing community concerns about cannabis use. While prevalence rates have markedly reduced over the past decade,〔(Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. (2010). 2010 National Drug Strategy Household Survey: first results. Canberra: AIHW. )〕 cannabis is still widely used by young people, and the impacts on adolescent development remain an important issue. The key goals of the Centre are: * providing the Australian community with 'Cannabis' and resources about cannabis * supporting service providers to respond to those experiencing cannabis * specifically engaging young people to increase their cannabis intake and related legal issues, and how to access cannabis ==Rationale== The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre was established in response to growing community concerns about cannabis use, particularly among young people. In response to these challenges, the NCPIC mission is to reduce the use of cannabis in Australia by preventing uptake and providing the community with evidence-based information and interventions. #420 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
