SDRG’s Raising Healthy Children Mentioned by Nora Volkow in NIDA BLOG

In a blog post dated February 1, 2024, NIDA Director Nora Volkow, MD, celebrates the upcoming 50th anniversary of NIDA’s founding by urging the research community to continue to shift the mindset of medicine and the public towards viewing addiction as a health condition that is preventable, treatable, and deserving of compassion and support. The blog post mentions interventions such as SDRG’s own Raising Healthy Children, which shows that outcomes of a childhood prevention intervention persist over two generations, and highlights the public health utility of prevention programs rooted in rigorous science. With 45 years of prevention research and practice working with funders such as NIDA, SDRG is pleased and honored to be mentioned so prominently in Dr. Volkow’s blog post.
