National Survey Results of the Monitoring the Future Study 1975-2001, Volume I
NIH Pub. No. 02-5106
The annual report is the prevalence of drug use among American secondary students (specifically 8th, 10th & 12th graders). The trends are used for understanding the changing drug abuse problems and for formulating the appropriate intervention (prevention/treatment) policies.

National Survey Results of the Monitoring the Future Study 1975-2001, Volume II
NIH Pub. No. 02-5107
The annual report is the trends in use by populations based on gender, college plans, regions of the country, population density, race/ethnicity, and parents' education. The trends are used for understanding the changing drug abuse problems and for formulating the appropriate intervention (prevention/treatment) policies.

Drug Counseling for Cocaine Addiction: The Collaborative Cocaine Treatment Study Manual #4
NIH Pub. No. 02-4380
This publication describes specific behavioral/cognitive models which can be implemented in a wide range of differing drug abuse treatment settings. The manual is designed to present material in a user friendly manner to program administrators, counselors and other related service providers assuming that these targeted populations have a wide range of prior academic training and experience with the concepts and processes involved.

Asian Americans/Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders - 2003 Calendar
NIH Pub. No. 02-05173
The purpose of the calendar is to increase the audience's knowledge and awareness of the signs, symptoms, and neurophysiological, and behavioral effects of various drugs.

Research Report Series: Marijuana Abuse
NIH. Pub. No. 02-3859
This publication will discuss the consequences of use, the effects of using, and peripheral issues such as medical uses.

NIDA Science and Practice Perspectives, Vol. 1
The National Institute on Drug Abuse has developed a new publication directed towards a combined specialized audience of drug abuse researchers and practitioners. This bi-annual publication aims to enhance the practical use of research and the rapid adaptation of research-based practices in drug abuse treatment. The first issue of this publication was released in July 2002.

NIDA Notes

NIDA Notes Volume 17, Issue 2
NIH Pub. No. 02-3478
The lead article describes a study that may provide insight into why women may suffer less brain damage from chronic cocaine abuse than men. Dr. Marc Kaufman of McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School found that cocaine had no significant effect on cerebral blood flow during the phase of a women's menstrual cycle that precedes ovulation when levels of the female sex hormone, estrogen are at their highest. However, cocaine reduced blood flow by about 10 percent following ovulation when levels of the hormone progesterone are highest. Cocaine also reduces cerebral blood flow in men. The minimal effect of cocaine on women's brain blood volume prior to ovulation may be attributable to the protective effects of estrogen, which improves blood vessel elasticity and may counter the vasoconstrictive effects of cocaine.

The Director's Column by Dr. Glen Hanson discusses NIDA's efforts to expand and focus research on the far-reaching and complex role of gender differences in all aspects of drug addiction ranging from risk of abuse through responses to treatment.

Other articles include a 10-year study that found that high-risk sexual behavior, rather than needle sharing and other injection behaviors, is the primary predictor of HIV infection for both men and women injection drug users; genetic variations in the brain's serotonin system, which mediates mood and behavior, that may be linked to smoking initiation at an earlier age; and brief family-focused prevention programs implemented with sixth-graders and their families that produced reductions in adolescent substance abuse over a 4-year follow-up period.

NIDA Notes, Volume 17, Issue 1
NIH Pub. No. 02-3478
The front-page story reports on research that found that even though the damage to brain cells is reduced over time, the damage to cognitive and motor skills continues to be impaired. Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York used brain-imaging techniques to measure the amount of damage and subsequent recovery of brain cells.

In the Director's Column, Dr. Glen Hanson discusses NIDA's efforts to address the dual epidemics of HIV/AIDS and substance abuse in the United States and other countries. NIDA-supported research has increased understanding of the complex role that drug abuse plays in the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Another article reports on the first large-scale study to evaluate the outcomes of adolescents in age-specific drug abuse treatment programs. The researchers found that longer stays in treatment can effectively decrease drug and alcohol use and criminal activity and improve the teens' school performance and psychological adjustments. Another article describes a program for HIV-positive youth that helps to reduce substance abuse and high-risk sexual behaviors that contribute to the spread of HIV.

The Tearoff presents the 17 science-based prevention principles from the new NIDA handbook: Principles of HIV Prevention in Drug-Using Populations. The Bulletin Board notes the publication of NIDA's latest Community Alert Bulletin: Stress and Substance Abuse; describes new radio and TV public service announcements to educate young people about the dangerous link between drug use and transmission of HIV/AIDS; and announces the publication of the latest manual in NIDA's "Therapy Manual for Drug Addiction" series.
