"Local" refers to the state level down through the community level. This program announcement seeks methodological and content research as applied to the local population/area epidemiology of drug abuse and its associated problems. Applications are encouraged that focus on methodological research dealing with improving our means for determining the epidemiology of local-level drug abuse and related problems. Applications are also encouraged that concern "content," or the determination of specific epidemiologic patterns of local drug abuse and associated problems (such as transitions from non-injecting to injecting drug use and implications for the spread of HIV or violence and crime). The areas of methodology and content are not meant to be mutually exclusive, and applications are encouraged that address the need for better information in both areas. Additionally, methodological and/or content studies are encouraged that strengthen bridge-building and coordination between local population/area epidemiology and prevention. TARGET AUDIENCE: 335 - Persons Practicing High Risk Behavior, 340 - Injecting Drug Users SUBJECT AREAS: Epidemiological research, Substance abuse FINANCIAL INFORMATION FUND TOTAL NOTE: Direct costs: RO3 - $50,000/yr; R29 - $350,000/project.
