We are currently soliciting questions about the effects of meth on the family. Questions will be answered by Dr. Wendy Haight, a researcher who has interviewed child-welfare workers, counselors, caregivers, and youth with meth-addicted parents. This is your opportunity to find out about the effects of meth on the family and how to best support youth with meth-addicted parents.

Everyone who submits a question will receive a free copy of this issue. Submit questions to CKimball@TPRonline.org by May 12, 2008.

(Note: not all questions will be answered and some may be modified by editorial staff.)

We are pleased to announce that starting in 2008, The Prevention Researcher will be printed on paper stock certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This switch means that our paper comes from responsibly managed forests and verified recycled sources. Using a "chain of custody" certification system, the forest, pulp providers, mills, merchants, and printers must all obtain FSC certification before we can print the FSC logo within The Prevention Researcher. We will continue using inks which are vegetable-based with soy content.
