NEW!
SAPRP has launched a new feature to its website aimed at providing the latest research and the policy implications of that research on alcohol, tobacco and drug use. The new feature is called Knowledge Assets. Each Asset includes a downloadable Policy Brief, summary of key research results, details of studies used in building the asset, names of SAPRP researchers, and other resources that will be useful for policy makers and the media. Four Knowledge Assets on key topics are already on the website and several more are already being developed. Click here to view Knowledge Assets
