International Society for the Study of Emerging Drugs (ISSED)

The International Society for the Study of Emerging Drugs (ISSED) is established to unite the world’s multidisciplinary leaders on Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS), emerging substances, and associated trends in regularized discourse, partnership, and study, with a goal to develop innovative strategies for interventions, while counteracting the threat posed by NPS and emergent substances in society.

Through the collaboration of international leaders working in the fields of medicine, public health, law enforcement, forensic sciences, drug policy, social sciences, and academia, commonalities in emergent trends and substances will be expediently identified, studied, and integrated into informed public health and public safety policy.

AIMS:
• To provide a platform for a multidisciplinary collaboration on NPS and other emergent substances.
• To promote interdisciplinary study and research on NPS through collaborative publishing as well as rapid sharing of information on NPS identifications, usage trends, trafficking trends, change in policy and best practices on public health interventions, education and prevention activities
• To promote interdisciplinary education and training programs on NPS and emergent substances
