From the HHS New Media Blog
(Posted February 7, 2011)

The New Media bloggers at HHS recently provided the SAMHSA Store with kudos. An article by Kathryn Hambleton describes the Store as follows: “Taking inspiration from Amazon.com, the SAMHSA Store delivers an engaging web-based ‘shopping’ experience. The store features product categories to help visitors identify products that may interest them, including the 50 most popular products, recently added products, and a selection of featured timely publications.” Read the blog post.

SAMHSA’s new Store replaces the National Clearinghouse on Alcohol and Drug Information, the National Mental Health Information Center, and the SAMHSA Health Information Network.

Take SAMHSA’s video tour of the new SAMHSA Store.
