COSSAP Digest
Supported by the Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA) Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Program (COSSAP), the COSSAP Digest is a biweekly compilation of COSSAP-developed publications, webinars, podcasts, and other information recently posted to the COSSAP Resource Center as well as upcoming events. Designed to equip the COSSAP community of practice with the latest tools to advance its ongoing fight against substance abuse, entries are also searchable on the media library.
