With over a thousand members, including many of the top experts on nicotine and tobacco from over 20 countries around the world, the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco's mission is to stimulate the generation of new knowledge concerning nicotine in all its manifestations - from molecular to societal. The Society has the following goals: 1. To sponsor scientific meetings and publications fostering the exchange of information on the biological, behavioral, social, and economic effects of nicotine; these activities shall include basic research and research on mechanisms of action and the use of nicotine as a probe for studying nervous systems function as well as applied research on the behavioral and pharmacological aspects of tobacco use, nicotine dependence, the therapeutic uses of nicotine, and related areas. 2. To encourage scientific research on public health efforts for the prevention and treatment of cigarette and tobacco use. 3. To provide the means by which various legislative, governmental, regulatory, and other public agencies and the ethical drug industry can obtain expert advice and consultation on critical issues concerning tobacco use, nicotine dependence, and the therapeutic uses of nicotine. Membership dues will be used to plan an annual meeting, to publish a newsletter, to compile a directory, to conduct advocacy and liaison activities for nicotine research, and to begin work on professional publications such as a journal. Though the Society will meet at least once per year in North America and will be incorporated in the United States, the intent is to be international in scope, with co-sponsorship of meetings in other countries and active recruitment of members outside the United States. By clicking on the various links on the website you can gain access to further information about the society, its publications, activities and membership. In 2004, the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco celebrated the tenth anniversary of its founding. During its first decade, the Society grew from around 100 to over 900 members, sponsored well-attended annual meetings and highly-influential satellite conferences to promote research, provided timely electronic and print services to increase the flow of information, and founded a new peer-reviewed journal (Nicotine and Tobacco Research: The Journal of SRNT) to facilitate communication of scientific advances. The record documents considerable progress in meeting the objective of the Society to stimulate new knowledge about nicotine in all its manifestations. As part of SRNT's Decade One celebration, two projects were developed to commemorate its achievements and help preserve its collective memory. The first is an article by two past presidents, Ovide Pomerleau and John Hughes, entitled With a little help from its friends: A brief history of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, published in the Societys journal, Nicotine and Tobacco Research. The second is a series of e-interviews with each of SRNTs first ten presidents. A brief structured interview was designed, and the former presidents were invited to respond in writing to each question in as little or as much detail as desired. An open-ended question was provided at the end to allow for more free-form commentary. The results of this effort can be accessed via the links below.

A network composed of researchers from major metropolitan areas of the United States and selected foreign countries which meet semiannually to discuss the current epidemiology of drug abuse. The primary mission of the Work Group is to provide ongoing community-level surveillance of drug abuse through analysis of quantitative and qualitative research data. Through this program the CEWG provides current descriptive and analytical information regarding the nature and patterns of drug abuse, emerging trends, characteristics of vulnerable populations and social and health consequences. Reports Reports are available from the biannual meetings at which the network members discuss current and emerging problems of substance abuse. At the meetings, CEWG members present data on drug abuse from a variety of city, State, Federal, and other sources. These data are enhanced with information gathered through ethnographic research, focus groups, interviews, and other qualitative methods. This integration of quantitative with qualitative data provides invaluable insight into emerging drug use trends. Book In 1998, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) published the first edition of Assessing Drug Abuse Within and Across Communities: Community Epidemiology Surveillance Networks on Drug Abuse to share information on establishing drug abuse epidemiology networks at community and State levels. Its purpose is to provide guidelines for establishing epidemiology networks to monitor and assess drug abuse patterns and trends and emerging drug problems at community and State levels to provide a foundation of information for public health response. The second edition differs from the first in format. For each data source, there is a description of the source and database, followed by guidelines on how to access the data (including Web sites) and what to request, and examples of how the data have been used by epidemiology work groups or Federal agencies. NIDA hopes that this revised guide is helpful to agencies, organizations, and researchers that are involved in or wish to establish epidemiology networks in their communities or States.

Emotion Mining enables scientists to measure the emotions of subjects before, during, and after research protocols in a reliable, sensitive, and convenient manner. Furthermore, Emotion Minings easy to use online data collection methodology leads to deep insights into the problems facing respondents and their solutions. :Emotion Minings unique measurement of emotion is clarified emotion emotion from which normal research biases, including subject state and trait biases, are removed. Using "clarified" emotion, researchers can gain insight into what research subjects really feel beneath and beyond what they self-report. More specifically, Emotion Mining engages respondents in a game-like exercise that enables them to express their deep-seated idiosyncratic responses and emotions. Built-in consideration of all possible emotion words produces "whole" emotional profiles in Emotion Mining analyses. Emotion Mining is applicable to social, cognitive, and behavioral research challenges and goals. Because it can distinguish conscious, subconscious, and even unconscious emotional responses to an unlimited range of topics, it is particularly applicable to the following areas: Social Psychology Personality Psychology Cognition and Social Cognition Cognitive Neuroscience Behavioral Neuroscience Political Psychology Their online methodology provides an engaging, controlled environment where subjects feel free to express themselves. Emotion Mining collects vital emotional responses in a way that no other methodology can. Emotion Mining also allows: :- Identification of unappreciated but recognizable emotional responses :- Prioritization of most unique, least biased emotional responses :- Aggregation through structured emotion analysis :- Collection of rich emotional verbatim :- Keyword analysis of verbatim You can experience and determine the face validity of Emotion Mining for yourself by registering to use Emotion Mining for personal decision making. You may also wish to have your research group involved in a group test of this face validity. In setting up a collaborative or independent relationship with scientists at Emotion Mining Company, you will gain access to the following tools used for data collection, analysis, and reporting. High-speed Internet access is all that is required for this easy-to-use addition to your laboratory.
