What are the Goals of NIDA?
NIDA has been actively involved the last five years in successfully altering people's perception towards drugs. The results of an MTF survey (Monitoring the Future) show that most students from the 8th, 10th as well as 12th grades have reduced taking drugs by a sharp 24%. These results are based on statistics taken from 2001 to 2007. This means that since 2001 there are 860000 lesser young people taking drugs. Nicotine usage has also declined sharply since 1975. NIDA recognizes that drug abuse and addiction amongst adolescents can adversely affect their mental makeup and development, which is why it is committed to reducing drug abuse across the youth.
