National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is expanding its National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices Web site by providing information from the agency's Model Programs Initiative. NREPP (www.nrepp.samhsa.gov) is a searchable online registry of mental health and substance abuse interventions that have been reviewed and rated by independent experts.

The registry assists local organizations in identifying interventions that have been scientifically tested and can be readily disseminated to the field. Organizations can search for interventions that fit the needs of their communities.

Substance Abuse Librarians and Information Specialists, which features a database of searchable peer-reviewed journals and journals by focus area.
