Welcome to the Prairielands Addiction Technology Transfer Center website. At Prairielands, we provide educational opportunities for those interested in substance abuse treatment and counseling, including health professionals in primary prevention and treatment of substance abuse. We are housed at the University of Iowa College of Public Health and offer services on and off-campus, utilizing technology such as the Iowa Communications Network and similar systems in each of the five states that comprise our region. In addition, Prairielands offers consulting, technical assistance, and continuing education seminars for groups as well as individual providers.
Prairielands ATTC’s primary mission is to disseminate evidence-based practice in substance abuse and problem gambling, thereby bridging the gap between science and service. Prairielands ATTC provides technical assistance, training, and systems change assistance throughout the five-state region. Dissemination efforts so far in 2008 address a wide variety of issues and aspects of addiction. These include issues specific to substance abuse, culturally specific populations, problem gambling, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender issues, clinical supervision, concerns in rural, frontier, and tribal treatment populations, co-occurring disorders, and women and their children.
