This Week’s Focus: NDEWS Weekly Briefing Survey
As the National Drug Early Warning System continues to evolve alongside the rapidly shifting landscape of drug use trends in the United States, your insights have never been more important.
Every week, 7,500 readers receive the NDEWS Weekly Briefing to stay informed about emerging substances, patterns of harm, and signals collected from across our entire network. To ensure the briefing continues to meet the needs of researchers, public health professionals, clinicians, and community organizations, we are conducting a short reader survey.
Your feedback will help us understand how you use the briefing, what content you find most valuable, and where we can improve. This information will directly inform upcoming refinements to the briefing’s format, depth, and focus. This will allow our team to deliver timely, actionable, and relevant information that supports your work on the front lines of drug early‑warning and response.
Thank you for taking a few moments to share your perspective. This survey is estimated to take two minutes.

The NDEWS Weekly Briefing curates emerging data and findings from across the Early Warning Network, which includes three core components: our Scientific Advisory Group (SAG), comprised of national experts and federal partners; our Sentinel Site Directors (SSDs), who lead local surveillance in key geographic regions; and our Community-Based Health Experts, who provide on-the-ground insights from populations most impacted by drug trends. Together, these contributors generate timely, multidisciplinary and impactful information, ranging from peer-reviewed research findings to local surveillance data. These contributions inform public health and research communities.
