The
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes
of Health, is pleased to offer FREE Spanish-language materials for families, teachers, community members,
and health care professionals. Many of these materials are part
of the NIDA Goes Back to School campaign, a health education initiative
aimed at helping our Nation's youth to better understand the consequences
of drug abuse on the brain and the body.
One
of the greatest challenges today is to reduce health disparities
among our various communities. Providing the best information on
the science behind drug abuse to those who work with our Nation's
young people will take us one step closer to reducing these disparities.
