Communication Strategy Guide: A Look at Methamphetamine Use Among Three Populations

The goal of the study is to provide information to help states and communities develop communication programs to combat the rise of methamphetamine use.

The participants indicate a need for greater understanding by family members, friends and co-workers of the various behavioral dynamics involved with this dangerous drug.
