NPSC Projects
The NPSC engages in a range of efforts, including voluntary, prospective, and contracted initiatives.
Below is a list of ongoing efforts.
A Call for the DECADE OF THE CHILD
Americans care about the nation’s nearly 74 million children and youth and recognize the urgent need to address the challenges they face to their healthy development and wellbeing. Yet, despite our collective commitment to children and vast array of available health and educational resources, statistics reflecting the state of their health and wellbeing are sobering. The good news is that we already know what children need to thrive and, fortunately, solutions are at hand. We need unprecedented mobilization in the form of a well-coordinated national strategy across all sectors in society to prioritize the health and wellbeing of every child in America – this is the DECADE OF THE CHILD!
Addiction Science Defense Network
The Addiction Science Defense Network (ASDN) is an information exchange and action network for individuals and organizations devoted to studying, treating and preventing problems caused by psychoactive substance use, including alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, and cannabis as well as other potentially addictive behaviors such as gambling.
Gamifying an Evidence-Based Parenting Intervention to Improve Access for Caregivers with Addiction to Reduce Substance Use Outcomes in Their Children
Funding for the project is provided in full by the University of Baltimore’s Center for Drug Policy and Prevention (CDPP); Combating Overdose Through Community-level Intervention Initiative (COCLI) Initiative, funded by the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA)/ONDCP
National AI-Driven Clearinghouse for Evidence-Based Prevention Programs and Policies
The NPSC has conceived of a national clearinghouse populated with well tested, evidence-based programs and policies to inform the decisions of policymakers (legislative and agency-level), increase the utility of that information for end-users, and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of government operations.
