What are members of the substance abuse prevention team called?

• A. SAMS; Substance abuse management specialists
• B. SAPS; Substance abuse prevention staff
• C. SAPS; Substance abuse prevention specialists
• D. SAPS; Substance abuse program staff

Answer: (C)

SAPS stands for Substance Abuse Prevention Specialists, which signals professionals with focused training in prevention—designing and implementing programs, educating others, and evaluating outcomes. This specialized role matters because it reflects not just who is involved, but what they do and the level of expertise they bring to prevention efforts. The other options mix in different acronyms or use generic terms like staff or program staff, which don’t convey the same professional focus. So the team members are Substance Abuse Prevention Specialists.
