摘要

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) supports most of the worlds research on drug abuse and addiction. NIDA-funded research enables scientists to apply the most advanced techniques available to the study of every aspect of drug abuse, including: genetic and social determinants of vulnerability and response to drugs; short- and long-term effects of drugs on the brain, including addiction; other health and social impacts of drug abuse, including infectious diseases and economic costs; development and testing of medications and behavioral treatments for abuse and addiction; and development and evaluation of effective messages to deter young people, in particular, from abusing drugs.
