This booklet aims to fill that knowledge gap by providing scientific information about the disease of drug addiction, including the many harmful consequences of drug abuse and the basic approaches that have been developed to prevent and treat the disease. At the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), we believe that increased understanding of the basics of addiction will empower people to make informed choices in their own lives, adopt science-based policies and programs that reduce drug abuse and addiction in their communities, and support scientific research that improves the Nation's well-being.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=596644 This is a free textbook offered by Saylor Foundation.

Young people are natural scientists. They have a curiosity about the world around them and about themselves as individuals. Since they have little in the way of life experiences, many young people tend to view themselves as nearly invincible. Consequently, when adults caution them against engaging in risky behaviors such as drinking alcohol, some don't listen. They feel that such warnings aren't for them and apply only to those less grown up than themselves.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=604800 ספר הלימוד לתיכון למקצוע האזרחות. הספר מחולק לשלושה חלקים. שני החלקים הראשונים דנים בשתי אבני יסוד שעליהן מושתת המשטר במדינת ישראל: היהדות והדמוקרטיה, והחלק השלישי דן ביישום יסודות אלה במשטר, בחברה ובפוליטיקה בישראל.
