What method can UPLs use to effectively engage soldiers in prevention discussions?

Utilizing interactive training methods and real-world scenarios allows UPLs to effectively engage soldiers in prevention discussions by creating an environment that encourages participation and critical thinking. Interactive methods, such as group discussions, role-playing, and scenario-based exercises, promote active learning and help soldiers apply concepts to situations they may encounter in their real lives.

By involving soldiers in discussions and activities, UPLs can foster a sense of ownership and personal responsibility regarding substance abuse prevention. Real-world scenarios make the training relatable, demonstrating how decisions affect not only the individual but also their peers and the overall unit. This approach enhances understanding and retention of the material, leading to more impactful learning outcomes. In contrast, other methods such as strictly lecture-based presentations or formal assessments tend to be passive, which may not effectively engage the soldiers or facilitate meaningful dialogue.
