National Families in Action (NFIA), founded in 1977, helped lead the national parent movement that reduced drug use by two thirds among adolescents and young adults from 1979 to 1992. The organization, which closed its doors in January 2023, developed a Drug Information Collection which is proudly being preserved at the University of California, San Francisco Archives and Special Collections in the first of the university’s Drug Control archives.

Please watch for the release of Biological Capture: How Companies that Make Addictive Drugs Get Us to Keep Buying Them by NFIA’s former president and CEO, Sue Rusche, to be published towards the end of the year. Proceeds from the book will support UCSF in digitizing NFIA’s Drug Information Collection.

Your partnership in supporting this archiving project is appreciated. Please consider making a gift by check or credit card to digitize NFIA’s Drug Information Collection to make it broadly accessible for the good of all.
