THE 1990 PREVENTION OBJECTIVES FOR ALCOHOL AND DRUG MISUSE: PROGRESS REPORT
In 1980 the Public Health Service set forth specific, measurable national prevention objectives to be achieved by 1990 in 15 health priority areas. This article reports on activities related to reaching the objectives pertaining to alcohol and drug abuse. The agency assigned responsibility for meeting these prevention targets is the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA). Subsequent to passage of block grant legislation in 1981, ADAMHA has pursued the 1990 disease prevention-health promotion objectives principally by expanding research on new preventive interventions and determining what interventions work, by broadening its collaboration with other Federal agencies, and by fulfilling Federal responsibility to disseminate information on research, provide technical assistance, and mobilize community resources in cooperation with the private sector.
