Electronic Mailing Lists

There are a variety of Web-based resources available for further information and guidance related to alcohol, other drug, and violence (AODV) prevention.

Electronic mailing lists link subscribers by e-mail and allow for information to be distributed to each participant. Members typically receive e-mails from the list manager and cannot post to the list themselves.

Discussion lists are a type of electronic mailing list which allows for members to post questions or comments to all members of the list.

Each of these lists is focused on a particular topic. Please refer to the list documentation for more information. Following are a number of AODV prevention, treatment, and justice lists which may be of interest:
