NCADI is one of the
largest Federal clearinghouses, offering more than 500 items to the
public, many of which are free of charge. We distribute the latest studies
and surveys, guides, videocassettes, and other types of information and
materials on substance abuse from various agencies, such as the U.S.
Departments of Education and Labor, the Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, the National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the National Institute on
Drug Abuse.
They staff both
English- and Spanish-speaking information specialists who are skilled at
recommending appropriate publications, posters, and videocassettes;
conducting customized searches; providing grant and funding information;
and referring people to appropriate organizations. They are
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to take your calls at
1-800-729-6686.
The Public Interest
Clearinghouse promotes justice by supporting organizations that make
our legal system more accessible and responsive to people who are
traditionally excluded. The primary mission of the Clearinghouse is to
provide information, support, and statewide coordination to the legal
services community in order to enhance the delivery of legal services to
the indigent. In that regard, the Clearinghouse explores innovative
technology solutions, assists law students committed to public interest
work, creates training opportunities for advocates, communicates critical
information, and advocates for legal services programs.
