ATOD Section on Facebook!
By Andrea Frydl and Mark Parascandola
In case you haven't heard, the ATOD Section has entered the world of social media! Below you will find two new features that we have established in recent months to better engage, retain and recruit members into our section.
Facebook Group Page
The Alcohol, Tobacco & Other Drugs Section is on Facebook! Join our group page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=40335753962 to see pictures, upcoming events, and other interesting features that you won't find on our website.
Our Facebook page is meant to be an open forum for members, prospective members, and other interested parties, so we encourage you to leave comments, post links, videos, pictures and other media there.
If you are already a member, then great! If not, join for free!
If you have difficulty signing up or finding our group page or if you have questions about our presence on Facebook, feel free to contact Andrea at afrydl01@hotmail.com or Mark at paramark@mail.nih.gov.
Note: In order to access our Facebook page, you will need to have a Facebook account. If you do not currently have an account with Facebook and would like to join, sign up at http://www.facebook.com.
SlideShare Account
Slideshare.net is a social media site meant to share posters, presentations, documents and other content about a particular topic. The ATOD Section also has a slideshare account. Thanks to many of our members, we have several documents posted there on topics ranging from tobacco cessation to methamphetamine use. You can access our slideshare account at: http://www.slideshare.net/APHAATOD.
A link to our slideshare account is also posted on our Facebook group page, so if you have difficulty logging in or orienting yourself to the website, you can find the link from there. We encourage you to share your ATOD-related posters and presentations with our members. If you have content that you would like us to add please email us with attachments to aphaatod@gmail.com.
Also, if you have questions about our slideshare account, feel free to contact Andrea Frydl at afrydl01@hotmail.com or Mark Parascandola at paramark@mail.nih.gov.
