DESPR provides a
foundation for NIDA’s
Public Health Mission.
DESPR will improve the nation’s
public health by promoting
integrated approaches
to understand and address interactions
between individuals and environments
that contribute to the
continuum of problems
related to drug use.
Our goal is to develop scientific knowledge with
clear application to practice and public policy.

DESPR: Five Year Goals
1. Measurably impact public health
prevention and treatment outcomes
2. Demonstrate the role of interactions
between intrapersonal and environmental
factors with each other and with genetic
factors
3. Develop transdisciplinary research teams
to better elucidate this chronic condition,
its prevention and treatment

Themes for DESPR in FY 2005
1. Maximize Return on Investment
2. Rethink the Social Environment
3. New Issues in the Emerging
HIV/AIDS - Drug Abuse Nexus
4. Translational Research
What are we doing to
develop and promote these
themes?
Workgroups, Meetings, Publications, etc.

Rec #1: Defining Health Services Research
A multidisciplinary field that examines how:
social factors,
financing systems,
access to and utilization of
healthcare,
organizational structures
and processes,
quality and cost of
healthcare, and
health technologies, and
affect
our health and well-being.
personal beliefs and
behaviors
Ultimately, the goals of health services research are to
identify the most effective ways to organize, manage,
finance, and deliver high quality care.
