Addictions Resources for Care Providers
September 19, 2002

Clinicians and other care providers frequently confront addiction issues. You need information about screening for and diagnosing substance/alcohol abuse in your general practice. Your addicted patients require intervention and treatment programs. You need to quickly and efficiently locate reputable sources of information.

September's Library Grand Rounds addressed the many sources of addiction information. Joseph O'Donnell, MD, Professor of Medicine, Senior Advising Dean, and Director of Community Programs, DMS, summarized the issues. Biomedical Librarians identified and review Web-based tools and resources for:

• screening and diagnosis
• prevention at both the individual and community levels
• intervention strategies and programs
• information about individual substances, and
• patient/consumer education sites.

Library Grand Rounds are a forum for presenting information resources and tools of interest to Dartmouth clinicians. Please contact us biomedical.libraries.education@dartmouth.edu, if you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future Library Grand Rounds.
