Helpful info now accessible via smartphones, other devices
Parents can now get information about drug abuse and teens via their mobile devices, thanks to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which has launched the smartphone and tablet-accessible resources in conjunction with National Substance Abuse Prevention Month events in October.
NIDA, which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has upgraded its popular teen website to a “responsive design” model that automatically adjusts to fit the viewer’s screen for better viewing through smartphones and tablets. The new design is also more engaging, with larger, more vibrant buttons that link directly to resources that provide answers to questions and concerns related to drug abuse in adolescents.
