Abstract

The wide and effective dissemination of research findings is crucial to the mission of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). This article describes NIDA dissemination efforts and resources that are available to inform clinicians, teens, families, and educators about youth and substance use. Resources that are available include content addressing facts about youth drug use, trends in use, and stigma, in addition to substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment. Information is provided about resources such as infographics, research-based practice guides, training, educational events, and online videos. How input is solicited to inform dissemination efforts is described and future directions for NIDA's dissemination efforts are outlined.

Keywords: Addiction; Adolescent health; Dissemination; Provider education; Substance use.
