The Substance Use Screening & Assessment Instruments Database created by the ADAI Library is a new feature on SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence based Programs and Practices. NREPP is a searchable online registry of mental health and substance abuse interventions that have been reviewed and rated by independent reviewers. The purpose of NREPP is to assist the public in identifying approaches to preventing and treating mental and/or substance use disorders that have been scientifically tested and that can be readily disseminated to the field.
The ADAI Instruments Database is designed to help clinicians and researchers find instruments used for screening and assessment of substance use and substance use disorders. The database is listed in the "Learning Center" on the NREPP website.
The Instruments Database describes nearly 775 measure that are used in substance abuse research and treatment, with new and existing instruments added regularly. This database has become the primary resource for finding questionnaires and measures in the drug and alcohol use and abuse field.

The Hazelden Foundation announces the A.A. Heckman Endowed Fellowship Fund, intended to fund research, study, documentation, and dissemination of archival materials (such as the Hazelden Pittman Archives Collection), to advance the historical record and provide insight into America’s continuing relationship with−and response to−alcohol and drug use, misuse, and addiction.
The Fellowship is available to scholars in the fields of anthropology, sociology, history, medicine, and related fields. Depending upon applicants’ anticipated expenses, it provides partial to full financial support for travel to and from an archives collection, including but not limited to the Hazelden Pittman Archives Collection. Room and board expenses may also be eligible. The Fellowship will be paid in two installments--one payment to commence the research, and a second payment at the conclusion of the research upon receipt of a copy of a written document of the project’s findings or results, and dated expense receipts.
The number of Fellowships awarded each year and the amounts of Fellowships awarded each year will vary, depending upon the number of qualified applicants who submit applications and who are accepted, as well as the estimations of anticipated expenses. Fellowship awards may vary from $100 to $4,000 per award.

A multisite clinical trial led by UW and VA Puget Sound researchers Miles McFall, Andrew Saxon and colleagues found that among smokers with military-related PTSD, integrating smoking cessation treatment into mental health care resulted in greater prolonged abstinence compared with referral to specialized cessation treatment. The study was published in the Dec. 8, 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The research described in JAMA benefited from seed money from ADAI's Small Grant program, which funds six to ten projects per year by UW investigators. The main goal of the ADAI Small Grants program is to stimulate research by providing initial funding for promising pilot projects that are ultimately developed into full research studies with outside grant support. A 2000 small grant to Dr. McFall produced results that informed the larger study, funded by the VA Cooperative Studies Program.

Seattle is the venue for the 2011 National Multicultural Conference Summit, which will bring together more than 800 students, scientists, practitioners, and educators in psychology and related fields to inform and inspire multicultural theory, research, and practice.
With the theme Unification Through Diversity: Bridging Psychological Science and Practice in the Public Interest, NMCS will highlight key contributions from science and practice that have benefitted our diverse society and promoted human welfare. At the same time, differences among psychologists that have acted as barriers will be acknowledged so thay may be overcome. By combining the resources of scientists and practitioners, psychology will benefit from scientifically-sound and culturally-sensitive theory, research, practice, and training, which in turn will benefit society. The UW Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute is one of many co-sponsors of this event.
