摘要

Drug abuse has devastating consequences on individual abusers, their families, their communities, and our Nation. The phenomenon is dynamic, constantly changing, and complex. Like other diseases, it is important to identify and assess the nature and extent of drug abuse and emerging drug abuse problems as soon as possible. It is also important to closely monitor drug problems within and across communities. Epidemiology is one of the first lines of defense. It enables researchers to assess the causes, determinants, and distribution of drug problems discover, identify, and track drug problems: identify questions, issues, and research hypotheses; plan appropriate intervention strategies; launch public information campaigns; alert communities. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) supports research on all aspects of drug abuse and addiction, ranging from studies of the brain to the nature and extent of drug abuse in different populations. A considerable body of knowledge has been produced through the research supported by NIDA over the years. The research has led to a greater understanding of the nature of drug addiction as a chronic disease; knowledge on how to prevent and treat drug abuse and drug addiction. NIDA has also supported the Community Epidemiology Work Group (CEWG) since 1976. The CEWG monitors and assesses drug abuse patterns, trends, and emerging problems across 21 sentinel areas in the United States using multiple sources of data. One of NIDAs goals is to develop science-based tools and assist communities in using them to identify and assess drug problems, so communities, in turn, can provide the information to planners, policymakers, and interventionists who are involved in the prevention and treatment of drug abuse. In an effort to foster this goal, we are pleased to offer our newest edition of Assessing Drug Abuse Within and Across Communities, Second Edition. The publication provides updated guidelines on how to effectively establish and maintain drug abuse epidemiology surveillance networks.
