  • Briefings on selected topics

  • Online presence for the NCCDP information service

It is our overall aim to provide a wide ranging and balanced discussion of drug prevention work taking place in the UK, and allow links to be made between relevant organisations and academic departments both in the UK and abroad.

We hope that you will find time to explore the site. We would particularly welcome feedback and comments about how the site can be improved and what type of features and content would be of most use to you.
