The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University

Center on Addiction, formerly The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, is a science-based, multidisciplinary organization focused on transforming society's understanding of and response to the disease of addiction.

It was founded in 1992,[1] by Former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph A. Califano, Jr.[2][3]

In 2015, the center partnered with the Yale School of Medicine and the Yale School of Public Health to form a new addiction and research center in New Haven.[4]

The center does an annual survey tracking teens' attitudes on drinking, smoking and drug abuse.[5]
