Deleterious substances in aggregates can be detrimental to the quality and durability of concrete. These substances include organic impurities like loam, which interfere with cement hydration and are usually present in the sand. These prevent a good bond between aggregate and cement paste. Organic impurities can be detected using the colorimetric test, where the darkness of a solution after agitation indicates the level of organic content.
Another type of impurity is clay and fine material that...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Community Psychology
  • Substance Use Prevention

Background:

  • The Icelandic Model for Primary Prevention of Substance Use (IPM) is a successful community collaborative approach.
  • It has significantly reduced substance use initiation among Icelandic youth over two decades.
  • This article follows a previous one detailing the model's background and principles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the 10 core steps for the practical implementation of the IPM.
  • To guide communities in applying the IPM framework effectively.
  • To highlight strategies for building capacity, data utilization, and community engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of 10 practical implementation steps for the IPM.
  • Focus on community capacity building (Steps 1-3).
  • Emphasis on data systems and community engagement strategies (Steps 4-9).
  • Discussion of the iterative nature and challenges of long-term implementation (Step 10).

Main Results:

  • The IPM involves building community capacity, rigorous data collection and dissemination, and focused community engagement.
  • Key steps aim to create a social environment that deters youth substance use.
  • Implementation involves iterative processes, challenges, and opportunities over time.

Conclusions:

  • The IPM provides a structured, 10-step process for community-led substance use prevention.
  • Successful implementation requires sustained community engagement and adaptation to local factors.
  • The model's long-term effectiveness relies on its iterative and repetitive nature.
