NIDA is launching a new publication for drug abuse researchers and treatment providers. Science & Practice Perspectives seeks to promote a practical, creative dialogue between scientists and service providers. Published twice a year, the exchange of information, observations, and insights is expected to help clinicians make the most of their programs and treatment outcomes while helping researchers construct new hypotheses and design studies of strong relevance to the needs of providers and patients. "Drug abuse researchers and clinicians share a common dedication to reducing the devastation caused by drug abuse and addiction," observes NIDA Acting Director Dr. Glen Hanson. "By combining forces, researchers and clinicians are able to produce treatment results and improvements that far surpass the results that either could achieve on their own. Perspectives joins the Clinical Trials Network as cornerstones of NIDA's ongoing efforts to help achieve these results -- both by presenting and stimulating ideas and solutions that can reduce the deadly toll of drug abuse." The peer-reviewed Science & Practice Perspectives will feature:
David Anderson of NIDA's Office of Science Policy and Communications, Editor of NIDA NOTES, is the Editor of Perspectives. The distinguished editorial board for the new journal represents a wealth of scientific and clinical drug abuse expertise from across the Nation.

Ron Jackson, Evergreen Treatment Services, Seattle, Washington; Dr. Herbert D. Kleber, New York State Psychiatric Institute; Dr. Marsha M. Linehan, University of Washington; Dr. Charles P. O'Brien, Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Dr. Lisa Onken, NIDA Division of Treatment Research and Development; Dr. John Schwarzlose, Betty Ford Center; Dr. Jack Stein, NIDA Office of Science Policy and Communications; and Dr. Constance M.
