AAFP, NIDA Offer Educational Program on Addiction

In cooperation with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the AAFP is offering family physicians a new perspective on drug abuse and addiction, as well as tools to help physicians care for patients and families who are dealing with these issues. Composed, in part, of video recorded live during the 2012 AAFP Scientific Assembly in Philadelphia, the Addiction Performance Project was designed by NIDA to help break down the stigma associated with addiction and help doctors and other health professionals better identify and help drug-abusing patients, particularly in primary care settings.
