Proposed Expansion of National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices Announced in Federal Register

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) today announced the proposed expansion of the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP). The announcement was published in the Federal Register dated August 26th.

NREPP has become a nationally recognized tool that is useful for identifying and promoting effective interventions to prevent substance abuse. The proposed expansion will create a national resource for the latest information on the scientific basis and practicality of interventions to prevent and/or treat mental and substance use disorders.
