Washington D.C. - The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health in April unveiled its first comprehensive Physicians' Outreach Initiative, NIDAMED,
which gives medical professionals tools and resources to screen their patients for tobacco, alcohol, illicit and nonmedical prescription drug use. The NIDAMED resources include an online
screening tool, a companion quick reference guide, and a comprehensive resource guide for clinicians. The initiative stresses the importance of the patient-doctor relationship in identifying
unhealthy behaviors before they evolve into life threatening conditions. Let the physicians in your community know about this new resource for them.
