In 2001, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RJW) and Brandeis University reported that as we entered the 21st century, alcohol, tobacco and other drug use represented the clearest challenge to the nation's health. The report, Substance Abuse: The Nation's Number One Health Problem, stated, there are more deaths, illnesses and disabilities from substance use than from any other preventable health condition. This report and an earlier report eight years prior with a similar conclusion clearly documented and measured the true impact of substance use problems in America. Perhaps most clearly, it challenges our country to listen to the science and again prioritize substance use as the top priority in our healthcare system.
