I am pleased to provide you with DRUGS AT WORK, the first in a four-part
videotape series on drug abuse in the workplace, developed by the National
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). This 23-minute educational documentary
provides an overview of the problem; a description of the costs of drug use
for the workplace, the individual and the public; and an examination of the
action being taken by the Federal Government and private companies to combat
this problem. Late this year, videotapes on employee assistance programs,
drug testing, and prevention and education will also be provided to you. Each
title in the series will be available in both an employer and an employee
version, in VHS format. One complimentary copy of each will also be provided
to you as soon as they are available.
For those who require additional copies of the videotapes, a small supply will
be available for loan from the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug
Information (NCADI) through its video loan program. Please call NCADI
directly at [phone] for specific information. The entire series will
be available for purchase later this year. The Office of Workplace
Initiatives, NIDA, will provide updated information regarding the source and
price of the series shortly.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE
Presents
DRUGS AT WORK
Drugs At Work is the first program in a four part videotape series on drug abuse in the
workplace. A 23 minute educational documentary which provides an overview of the
problem, it describes the costs of drug use for the workplace, the individual and the
public, and examines the action being taken by government and private companies to
combat this problem. It will be followed later this year by programs on employee
assistance, drug testing and prevention and education. Each title in the series will be
available in both an employer and an employee version, in VHS format.
Drugs At Work promotes awareness of the important issues involved and provides valuable
information for the development of effective workplace programs to address the problem
of drug abuse on the job. Policy development, drug testing, employee assistance programs
and prevention and education are discussed.
Drugs At Work takes a personal approach, presenting interviews with those who best
understand the dimensions of the problem and what can be done about it. Rehabilitated
drug users, including a physician, a law enforcement officer and a welder, tell their own
stories of drug use on the job. Experts like Dr. Herbert Kleber of Yale and James
Mahoney of the AFL-CIO discuss the physical and economic effects. Government and
industry representatives including Dr. J. Michael Walsh, Director of NIDA's Office of
?
Workplace Initiatives and Daniel Burke, President of Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. describe
federal and corporate workplace programs currently underway.
Drugs At Work is an important program for all levels in the workplace, from top
management to line staff. It is designed to be used as part of an agency's drug abuse
education initiative. Its length makes it ideal for use in a one hour program that stresses
the agency's own efforts to combat drug use in the workplace.
