Research Report: Anabolic Steroid Abuse
Abuse of anabolic steroids differs from the abuse of other illicit substances because the initial abuse of anabolic steroids is not driven by the immediate euphoria that accompanies most drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, but by the desire of abusers to change their appearance and performance, characteristics of great importance to adolescents.
 
Research Report: Anabolic Steroid Abuse (Spanish)
Los informes continuos sobre el abuso de esteroides anabólicos por atletas profesionales –muchos de los cuales se consideran como modelos para los jóvenes– recalcan el hecho de que nos estamos enfrentando a un mensaje perjudicial para nuestra sociedad, es decir, que entre más grande mejor, y que ser el número uno es más importante que cómo se llega a serlo.
 


Research Report: Cocaine Abuse and Addiction
Cocaine abuse and addiction continue to plague our Nation. In 2008, almost 15 percent of Americans had tried cocaine, with 6 percent having tried it by their senior year of high school. Recent discoveries about the inner workings of the brain and the harmful effects of cocaine offer us unprecedented opportunities for addressing this persistent public health problem.
 
Research Report: Cocaine Abuse and Addiction (Spanish)
El abuso y la adicción a la cocaína continúan siendo un problema serio que aflige a nuestro país. Por ejemplo, de 1965 a 1967 solamente el 0.1 por ciento de los jóvenes habían usado cocaína alguna vez en su vida, pero esta tasa continuó subiendo a lo largo de las décadas setenta y ochenta alcanzando el 2.2 por ciento en 1987.
 


Research Report: Comorbidity - Addiction and Other Mental Illnesses
It is often difficult to disentangle the overlapping symptoms of drug addiction and other mental illnesses, making diagnosis and treatment complex. Correct diagnosis is critical to ensuring appropriate and effective treatment. Ignorance of or failure to treat a comorbid disorder can jeopardize a patient's chance of recovery.
 
Research Report: Hallucinogens and Dissociative Drugs
Drugs with street names like acid, angel dust, and vitamin K distort the way a user perceives time, motion, colors, sounds, and self. These drugs can disrupt a person's ability to think and communicate rationally, or even to recognize reality, sometimes resulting in bizarre or dangerous behavior.
 


Research Report: Hallucinogens and Dissociative Drugs (Spanish)
Las drogas que se conocen en la calle como ácido, polvo de ángel y vitamina K, distorsionan la forma en que el usuario percibe el tiempo, el movimiento, los colores, los sonidos y a sí mismo. Estas drogas pueden entorpecer la capacidad de la persona para pensar y comunicarse racionalmente o hasta para reconocer la realidad, a veces resultando en comportamientos extravagantes o peligrosos.
 
Research Report: Heroin Abuse and Addiction
Heroin is a highly addictive drug, and its abuse has repercussions that extend far beyond the individual user. The medical and social consequences of drug abuse - HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, fetal effects, crime, violence, and disruptions in family, workplace, and educational environments - have a devastating impact on society and cost billions of dollars each year.
 


Research Report: Heroin Abuse and Addiction (Spanish)
La heroína es una droga con gran potencial adictivo cuyo abuso tiene repercusiones que van mucho más allá del usuario individual. Las consecuencias médicas y sociales del abuso de drogas –el VIH/SIDA, la tuberculosis, los efectos sobre el feto, el crimen, la violencia y los problemas en el entorno familiar, laboral y educacional– han tenido un impacto social devastador con un costo de miles de millones de dólares cada año.
 
Research Report: HIV/AIDS
Initially characterized by relatively localized outbreaks, HIV/AIDS has now become a pandemic that has literally put the world at risk, affecting diverse populations in different ways. And while all nations are affected by HIV/AIDS, each faces differing underlying causes requiring customized prevention and treatment strategies.
