CMAPS Roundtable Discussions

The CMAPS roundtable discussions give MAP practitioners and researchers the opportunity to engage with each other and discuss a variety of topics related to the creation, implementation and on-going administration of their managed alcohol programs.

These teleconference calls provide an opportunity to share experiences, pose questions, and cooperatively identify some ‘best practices’ in managed alcohol programming.

If you have a topic you would like to discuss please email the CoP Coordinator.
