The ATOD Prevention Task Force was formed in March 2005 with the objective of developing a comprehensive county-wide action plan to prevent alcohol, tobacco and other drug use/abuse that can be modified and/or applied to local/regional situations. The Task Force meets quarterly and incorporates stakeholders and community leaders in law enforcement, schools, courts and probation, youth-serving organizations, healthcare systems, community-based organizations (including existing prevention providers), policy makers, County departments and agencies, as well as representatives from the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board (DAAB), Tobacco Education Coalition (TEC), and the Youth Commission.
The Roadmap for Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) Prevention: A Guide for Community Action includes a description of the planning process, a summary of prevalence data and an action plan. It was approved by San Mateo County's Board of Supervisors on June 20, 2006.
