The Community Drug Alert Bulletin on Club Drugs provides a synopsis of NIDA's research knowledge on club drugs and refers individuals to additional reliable sources of information.
NIDA NOTES
NIDA NOTES Vol. 4, Issue 3
NCADI - NN0038
This issue's lead article and Director's Column deal with the subtle but significant effects of prenatal cocaine exposure. The Atlanta Town Meeting, NIDA's biggest so far, is covered. Another article looks at how a NIDA-supported science education project in a California high school is sparking student interest in science in general and drug abuse research. The Tearoff offers information in brief on cocaine abuse and treatment.
NIDA NOTES, Vol. 4, Issue 4
NCADI - NN0039
The lead story in this issue describes how twin studies provide valuable information on the interrelationship between genetic and environmental risk factors for drug abuse. The Director's Column examines how comorbid mental health problems complicate drug abuse treatment. A related article looks at the relationships between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and drug abuse. The effects of "ecstasy" on the brain and memory are reviewed and the Tearoff provides a primer on the drug. NIDA's new Teen Tobacco Addiction Treatment Research Clinic is highlighted in this issue as well.
