CENTER FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION GUIDE TO SERVICES
The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is here to help
you make connections--with people, ideas, and resources. We want
your efforts to end the tobacco, alcohol, and other drug problems
in our society to be successful.
Outlined below are just some of the services that CSAP has to offer
you. And in the following pages of the NCADI Publications Catalog,
we've included materials that suite a variety of professional and
lay interests, cover a spectrum of target audiences, and address
our most significant prevention issues.
Whatever your resource needs, consider CSAP as your prevention
partner. We know that by working together, PreventionWorks!
Vivian L. Smith, M.S.W.
Acting Director

You can get the latest information about alcohol, tobacco, and
other drug problems and ideas for solving them through the National

public information and education media campaigns; outreach
initiatives targeted to special populations; and training and
technical assistance to help States and communities develop their
own communications programs.
The National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information
(NCADI) can provide you with scientific findings; data base
searches on prevention programs and materials, field experts,
Federal grants, and market research; material tailored to
policymakers, opinion leaders, media, parents, teachers, youth,

These are some of the services that NCADI can provide you:
o Response to telephone, mail, and in-person information
requests.
o Comprehensive alcohol, tobacco, and other drug resource
referrals.
o Free, customized data base searches. (The Prevention
Materials Database is also available on disk for a cost
recovery fee. See page 42 for details.)

the latest information about prevention research,
resources, and activities in the field. See page 59 for
details.

substance abuse prevention programs, policies, and activities exist
within the Nation. The data base will include all types of
prevention strategies--information dissemination and health
promotion, prevention education, effective methods for establishing
behaviors in lieu of drug using behavior, identification and
referral of high risk individuals, community empowerment, and
enactment of public policies related to alcohol, tobacco, and other
drug abuse prevention. The information within the data base will be
appropriate for use by both governmental agencies and nonprofit
private entities.
