Förlagets beskrivning
It is generally acknowledged that the most cost-effective means of
curtailing alcohol and drug abuse is prevention. Providing interventions to
at-risk individuals before they develop serious problems with substance use is
the most important component of the "war on drugs". Fortunately, there has been
a dramatic increase in the quantity and quality of scientific research on those
areas crucial to the advancement of prevention science. Documenting these
accomplishments and setting the stage for future efforts comprise the focus of
this volume. The book is divided into four parts. Part One contains introductory
chapters addressing current issues in prevention science and characteristics of
abusable substances. Part Two includes chapters on the historical contexts of
substance abuse and the deleterious health consequences of alcohol and other
drugs. Part Three focuses on the impact of drug and alcohol abuse on society.
Included are chapters on alcohol and drug abuse and driving, infectious
illness, disability, managed care, the criminal justice system and adolescents
and adults, sale and distribution, the media and community responses. Part Four
consists of chapters on prevention in specific settings with certain
populations. This work addresses contemporary issues in prevention science and
characteristics of abusable substances. It also features coverage of the
historical contexts of substance abuse and the impact of drug and alcohol abuse
on society.
