Science & Practice Perspectives, Vol. 2, No. 1
2003 * Journal * NCADI #M
NIDA's peer-reviewed journal brings together scientific investigators and clinical practitioners to present and discuss ideas for improving drug abuse treatment and research. The issue features:
Researcher --written reviews: Douglas B. Marlowe proposes integrating substance abuse treatment with criminal justice supervisions for economical use of resources and for levels of monitoring appropriate to clients' drug use and criminal justice histories. Paula D. Riggs presents current knowledge of treatment of adolescents with both substance abuse and psychiatric disorders, offering practical advise for history taking and identifying areas requiring further investigation.
Clinician-written perspectives: James R. Sharp and colleagues tell why and how their inpatient programs treat nicotine addiction as uncompromisingly as addiction to any other drug of abuse. Gregory S. Brigham describes the integration of 12-step treatment and empirically-based therapy at his community-based facility in Ohio.
And: Panel discussions examine and expand the ideas and implications of each review and perspective article.
Plus: Nancy M. Petry and Michael J. Bohn discuss their experiences with low-cost contingency management. A striking visual captures brain activity during cue-induced craving. A continuing education (CE) quiz offers counselors an opportunity to earn two NAADAC-certified CE hours.

NIDA INVEST Letter, Spring -- Summer 2003
The main article in this issue summarized the 11 programs to address the international impact of drug abuse and addiction that are cosponsored by NIDA and the National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center. Other features focused on the interaction of drug abuse, HIV infection, and progression to AIDS and announced a Global Forum for Health Research request for proposals to identify research capacity in low- and middle-income countries. Dr. James Smith, Wake Forest University School of Medicine and a member of the NIDA Advisory Council International Subcommittee, wrote the inaugural edition of "From the Field," a column by NIDA grantees to address the way international collaboration has influenced their drug abuse research. In the "Fellow Profile," former NIDA INVEST Fellow, Dr. Eli Lawental, Israel, discussed his training and research career. Other articles on Fellowship activities announced the appointment of Zhijun Li, M.D., China, and Pajulo Marjaterttu, M.D., Ph.D., Finland, as the 2003-2004 NIDA INVEST Fellows; reported on the orientation program and grant process workshop for current INVEST and Humphrey Fellows; and memorialized former NIDA Hubert H. Humphrey Fellow Dr. Viswananthan S. Mani, India, who died of a heart attack in February 2003.

NIDA NOTES

NIDA Notes, Volume 17, Issue No. 5
NIH Pub. No. 03-3478
The lead article discusses a study by Dr. Thomas Dishion of the Oregon child and Family Center. Dr. Dishion found that preventive interventions that put high-risk youths into groups could, under certain circumstances, produce worse rather than better behavior.

NIDA Notes, Volume 17 Issue No. 6
NIH Pub. No. 03-3478
The lead article discusses recent research on nicotine's effects on the brain/s reward system. In the Director's Column, Dr. Glen R. Hanson discusses NIDA's research partnership with the National Institute of Mental Health for investigating the roles of neurochemical receptors in mood disorders and nicotine addiction. Also discussed is Translating Tobacco Addiction Research to Treatment, a NIDA initiative that supports the development of new treatment and prevention options. Other articles on NIDA-funded research address cocaine's effect on blood components and the link to heart attack and stroke, middle schools' selection and implementation of drug prevention programs, the use of vouchers to reward naltrexone treatment for heroin-dependent patients, and sex differences in the success of strategies to reduce drug-seeking. News articles note Dr. Nora D. Volkow's appointment as the new NIDA Director and the addition of eight new Advisory Council members.

NIDA Notes, Volume 18 Issue No. 1
NIH Pub. No. 03-3478
In the Director's Column, Dr. Nora D. Volkow discusses NIDA's commitment to expand research to increase understanding of factors contributing to dual addiction to drugs and alcohol and to provide insight into the development of effective treatment interventions that will address both problems. To meet this research need, NIDA and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism have issued a joint program announcement to spur studies to evaluate the efficacy of current drug and alcohol treatment medications and new pharmacological treatment for dually addicted patients.

Simultaneous treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cocaine abuse is the focus of the lead story. The article discusses findings that exposure therapy can be safely and effectively combined with substance abuse counseling to reduce PTSD symptoms and cocaine use in some patients.

In other research findings, a new animal study stimulating human exposure to cocaine found that prenatal exposure to cocaine might cause long-term changes in short-term memory. Other research addressed in this issue examines how medications to treat ADHD help protect children with this disorder from later drug abuse, and notes ethnic and gender variations in the co-occurring psychiatric disorders seen in adolescent substance abusers. The Tearoff page announces the upcoming release of the Brief Strategic Family Therapy Manual, the latest in the Therapy Manuals for Drug Addiction series.
