Be the One to Build
Healthier NJ Communities.
We all see drinking, smoking, and other drug use differently, but there’s no doubt that everyone is affected when these substances are misused. With Be the One, you can help promote positive change in your community simply by sharing your view!
About
Designed together by Rutgers School of Social Work and New Jersey Prevention Network, Be the One is a photo sharing mobile platform that helps shed light on the health of communities throughout New Jersey.
By using your smartphone and the app, share photos of healthy or harmful influences that you encounter in your environment. Every submission on the app contributes important data that gives voice to issues our communities face—helping make a visual “case for change.”
A Platform for Change.
Shaping Healthy Communities.
There are many ways our surroundings can color our experiences and the types of decisions we make—especially as it pertains to alcohol, tobacco, and substance use.
Given that everyone’s lens is unique, data collected from content shared on Be the One serves as vital insight into exactly how community members are impacted by substance use and what needs to happen to shape healthier communities.
