Collection of NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) Articles That Address Drug Abuse Prevention. (Revised September 2006)

摘要

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) supports most of the world's 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.
