Re: high schoolers, this is a relevant new study about underreporting of drug use among that cohort.
Suggestion: include a form where readers can submit links for potential posting.

That is a good idea, and I will look into it. For now, however, you are welcome to email me at dwalter@thedrugupdate.com, or any of the authors by clicking their name underneath a post. Keep in mind that we are still figuring things out over here, and as busy college students, it is hard to always find time for the bigger changes. Please continue to provide input though - we do listen!

What's your criteria for link inclusion? There are other drug news aggregators, notably MAP, and you have a markedly lower daily volume of content.

We just do not have enough writers at this point. Right now we just cover psychoactive drugs. For now, criteria for link inclusion are pretty open-ended. Yes, MAP has a lot more content. We're hoping that we could have more discussions here, in addition to, in the future, adding a commentary section. But we just do not have enough writers, nor are our writers educationally prepared to make such commentary.
Keep in mind, again, that we are only a couple months old and still shaping the website.
