NIH Pub. No. 02-5109A
This report provides an ongoing assessment of drug abuse in major metropolitan areas of the United States with the purpose of keeping both public and private sector policymakers and researchers informed with current and accurate data.

Epidemiologic Trends in Drug Abuse - Community Epidemiology Work Group,
Volume II - June 2002
NIH Pub. No. 02-5110A

Public Health Report - Drug Use, HIV/AIDS, and Health Outcomes Among Racial and Ethnic Populations, Volume 117, Supplement 1 - 2002
NCADI #MS914
This publication, a supplement to the Public Health Reports, consists of 17 papers that were presented by researchers at a conference on Health Disparities sponsored by NIDA in April 2001. The volume is organized in three sections. The first section focuses on research examining disparities among the sampled groups; the second section consists of papers that highlight interventions that have been efficacious in their approaches to eliminating disparities. The final section consists of reviews of the literature illuminating the knowledge gaps that still exist and indicating the need of research.

NIDA INVEST Letter, Summer - Fall 2002
The lead story in this issue reports on NIDA international activities within the context of global drug use. The issue profiles NIDA Distinguished Scientist Petra Exnerova, Czech Republic; reports on the Seventh NIDA International Forum, Building International Research on Drug Abuse: Treatment Innovations; and announces the 2003 Forum, which will be held June 14 to 19, 2003, in Bal Harbour, Florida. International researchers were invited to apply for the 2003 WHO/NIDA/CPDD International Traveling Fellowships, offered in conjunction with the Forum. The 2002-2003 INVEST Research Fellows were announced, and a chart lists other international fellowship opportunities.

Meeting Summaries

7th NIDA International Forum
Building International Research on Drug Abuse: Treatment Innovations
This volume provides summaries of oral presentations, workshops, and discussion sessions; abstracts of oral and poster presentations; the agenda; and a participant list from the June 2002 meeting held in Quebec City, Canada, immediately following the Annual Scientific Meeting of the College on Problems of Drug Dependence.

NIDA NOTES

NIDA NOTES, Volume 17, Issue 4
NIH Pub. No. 03-3478

The lead article discusses a study that documents an increase in substance abuse and found high levels of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among New York City residents after the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The Director's Column by Dr. Glen R. Hanson focuses on inhalant abuseÑthe dangerous practice of inhaling fumes from a variety of widely available products to obtain an intoxicating effect. Educational efforts by NIDA and its partners in the National Inhalant Prevention Coalition have contributed to a downward trend in use here in the United States. NIDA has earmarked $2 million to expand inhalant abuse research and expects to fund studies on topics ranging from the molecular mechanisms of abuse to research based prevention and treatment approaches.

Other articles describe neurological abnormalities and cognitive impairments in chronic solvent abusers; a set of studies on women and smoking finding that smell and taste play a greater role in the smoking behavior of women than men, and that women smokers setting a quit date in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycles may suffer less severe tobacco withdrawal symptoms; FDA's approval of buprenorphine as a treatment for opiate dependence and addiction; and the prevalence of inhalant abuse, as reported in NIDA's annual Monitoring the Future survey of adolescents in grades 8, 10, and 12.

NIDA NOTES, Volume 17, Issue 3
NIH Pub. No. 03-3478

The lead article discusses the experimental compound SR141716, which may prove to be an effective treatment for marijuana addiction and other disorders. Dr. Marilyn Huestis and her colleagues at NIDA's Intramural Research Program found that the compound effectively reduced highs and changes in heart rate associated with marijuana use.

The Director's Column by Dr. Glen R. Hanson discusses drug abuse relapse and treatment and new research findings that shed light on drug-induced neurological changes that contribute to drug cravings.

Other articles discuss a study with laboratory rats that suggests another possible use for the compound SR141716: reducing the potency of cues associated with past cocaine abuse that trigger relapse; evidence in rats that prenatal exposure to MDMA (ecstasy) may result in long-term learning and memory impairments that are not attributed to the same type of damage to neurotransmitters previously seen in adults; highlights from the NIDA meeting, Blending Clinical Practice and Research: Forging Partnerships to Enhance Drug Treatment, that provided an important opportunity for clinicians and researchers to examine cutting-edge scientific findings about drug abuse and addiction and their application to clinical practice; and the new NIDA Research Report entitled Marijuana Abuse.

OUTREACH TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS

Based on the successful 2001 and 2002 Walking a Good Path Indian Country calendars, NIDA created and distributed a calendar for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander (AAPI) audiences. Using photos and culturally relevant artwork, the calendar includes the latest information on the health effects of nicotine, methamphetamine, club drugs, MDMA, anabolic steroids, prescription drugs, inhalants, and marijuana.

Research Report Series- Heroin: Abuse and Addiction (Spanish)
September 2002
NIH Pub. No. 02-4165(S)
This booklet provides science-based information on the prevalence of heroin abuse, methods of use, short- and long-term effects of heroin abuse, and medical complications of chronic abuse. Describes effective treatment for heroin addiction and lists resources for more information.

Research Report Series- Nicotine Addiction (Spanish)
April 2002
NIH Pub. No. 01-4342(S)
This installment of the Research Report Series describes what nicotine is, presents current epidemiological research data regarding its use, and reports on the medical consequences of nicotine use. It also emphasizes the effects on the brain as well as current research findings about use during pregnancy, and treatment approaches.

CTN Publications

Twelve editions of the CTN Bulletin Board were distributed over the last several months. The Bulletin Board is an electronic report on the activities of the various protocol teams and subcommittees of the CTN.

Documents entitled 'Successfully Including Women in Clinical Trials' and 'Guidelines for Referencing NIDA & CTN in Written Materials' received final NIDA approval and have been distributed throughout the CTN.

A Spanish language brochure for clinicians that detailed CTN 0021, Motivational Enhancement Treatment to Improve Treatment Engagement and Outcome for Spanish-Speaking Individuals Seeking Treatment for Substance Abuse (METS), was approved and printed for distribution to the participating sites.

OTHER PUBLICATIONS

Assessing the Impact of Childhood Interventions on Subsequent Drug Abuse. On May 23-24, 2000, NIDA and NIMH cosponsored a conference to support the development of research on the impact of mental health treatments for childhood psychopathologies on later risk for drug abuse. Treating childhood psychopathologies is potentially an extremely powerful approach to the prevention of drug abuse among a population at very high risk for drug abuse. Based on the presentations and papers commissioned for the meeting, a set of journal articles has been published as a special issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (2002, Vol. 70, No. 6, 1203-1306) edited by Meyer Glantz and Philip Kendall.
