Information
The Addictions, Drug & Alcohol Institute develops and disseminates a wide variety of information resources in order to fulfill its mission of advancing research, policy, and practice to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities affected by substance use disorders.
Research findings, data and statistics, informative resources, and other tools are disseminated through our information services, the ADAI Clearinghouse, and publications and presentations, as well as numerous websites, news blogs, email lists, newsletters, conferences, symposia, and more. Find out how to connect to us via social media, email lists, and more.
The ADAI Library closed in 2019, however its book collection, developed and curated over a span of over 40 years, is being digitized and added to The SALIS Collection at the Internet Archive, where you can read/borrow items for free. ADAI still provides some library-type information services (helping with access to articles, books, resources, other information; assistance with lit searches or review papers; consulting on information dissemination; training on information resources and dissemination practices; e.g.) and manages several special digital collections (CTN Dissemination Library, ADAI Publications, and our Screening & Assessment Instruments database).
