The Narcology Laboratory was founded by order of the rector of Chisinau State Institute of Medicine (currently - Nicolae Testemitanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy) No. 365 of 14.02.1984. During its activity, the Laboratory has dealt with the highlighting of risk factors, which predispose young people to start an early use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol. The survey was conducted through anonymous interview, for which a questionnaire was developed to collect data on the use of psychoactive substances, that was proposed by the Swedish Union ESPAD (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs) and adapted for the Republic Moldova. Based on the results obtained during the survey as well as the measures for the primary prevention of addiction to psychoactive substances, including alcohol, developed and published in different countries of the world (CIS, European Union countries, the USA), 2 monographs, 2 methodological materials, 2 guides, 12 guidelines and 5 booklets for parents, educators, school and medical psychologists, medical students, resident doctors of all specializations, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, family doctors and young people have been published.

The scientific and scientific-practical materials on prophylaxis measures were popularized through training and disseminated in educational establishments, medical institutions, community mental health centers, youth support centers, Anti-drug Directorate No. 4 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, among parents and psychologists of the Republic of Moldova. The collaborators of the Narcology Laboratory developed and proposed a set of measures for the prophylaxis of the psychoactive substances use among young people, taking into account the territorial peculiarities of its spread.
