TMCU Recruitment Manual

A unique feature of the TMCU is the ability to attract voluntary participation from non-treatment seeking students. This manual describes the strategies used to confidentially inform students about the TMCU opportunity.

TMCU Powerpoint Classroom Presentation

One main strategy used to recruit students was a PowerPoint presentation. It covers the health and psychological effects of marijuana, gives students a feel for the non-judgmental stance of the TMCU, and provides an overview of the TMCU intervention. It doubles as a prevention tool.
