New NIDA Report

Got this from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and thought I'd pass it along. Pay it forward.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is pleased to feature the second edition of Preventing Drug Use among Children and Adolescents: A Research-Based Guide for Parents, Educators, and Community Leaders.

This edition, derived from research on effective prevention programs, includes information about key factors that place youth at risk for drug abuse, guidance for planning drug abuse prevention programs in the community, the application of prevention principles to programs, and descriptions of the core elements of effective prevention programs.

This edition is available in four formats that are FREE of CHARGE: 1) a full-sized complete version, 2) an "In-Brief" pamphlet-sized version, 3) a laminated pocket-sized card that outlines the publication’s 16 prevention principles for easy reference, and 4) an abbreviated Spanish-language version.
