Three Barbadian UWI Open Campus students – Julia Edey, Shamira Shorey and Adrian Gooding - are to benefit from sponsorship from the Peter Moores Barbados Trust to complete the online Certificate in Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment for the academic year 2008-2009. The funding is the result of efforts by the Friends of Addiction Studies Committee.

The online Certificate in Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment is a regional, UWI-based on-line continuing education programme in drug demand reduction, which will upgrade the professional qualifications of individuals engaged in national, regional and international efforts to prevent substance abuse in the Caribbean region and beyond. The programme seeks to enhance the regional response to the challenges associated with substance abuse through training and the development of a lasting network of professionals in this field, thereby improving the environment and the quality of care and service for their communities.
