key roles in obtaining, disseminating,
and applying drug abuse and addiction
resource materials in clinical practice.
This effort is made according to
Executive Order 12862, which directs
Federal agencies that provide significant
services directly to the public to survey
customers to determine the kind and

services.
Formative, process, and outcome

approach (surveys, focus, groups, case
studies) will be employed to determine
