The Idaho Regional Alcohol Drug Awareness Resource (RADAR) Network Center is an alcohol, tobacco,  and other drug information clearinghouse and resource referral service.  We are your connection to resources and other people in cities and towns across the nation who are working together to prevent alcohol and other drug problems.

Services are available to community organizations, parents, pre-school through college students, educators, health care practitioners and hospitals, treatment professionals, scientists and researchers,  libraries, government agencies, businesses, individuals and you.

As members of the national RADAR network we provide continually updated substance abuse information, educational programs, access to current statistics, and complimentary copies of printed materials in English and Spanish.  Assistance in finding guest speakers and preparing public service announcements is also available.

An order for materials can be placed on-line. Browse the materials and submit your requests via the order form page.  A call during office hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday) will connect you with our resource specialist, who can assist you in selecting materials to meet your needs.  An answering machine is also maintained for your convenience.

The Center uses community resources, the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI), and State of Idaho Substance Abuse Prevention Treatment Services for referral procedures.

Materials are provided free of charge to Idaho residents.  Cost recovery fees are assessed for specialty items only. 

The Center, a Boise State University program, is administered by the Health Science Studies Program, in conjunction with the Department of Community and Environmental Health within the College of Health Sciences.  Monies from federal substance abuse prevention and treatment block grant funds are procured through the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare's Division of Behavioral Health.

RADAR Staff are members of SALIS (Substance Abuse Librarians & Information Specialists), an international association of individuals and organizations with special interests in the exchange and dissemination of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) information.
