Summary

"The Handbook of Drug Use Etiology: Theory, Methods, and Empirical Findings is the first volume to cover this dynamic field comprehensively. A roster of premiere researchers presents a mix of theoretical perspectives on complex issues ranging from causation to consequences and discusses prevention practices and how they influence policy. The editor and contributors detail the history of the field and the numerous forces that have helped to shape its development, and examine the interaction of epidemiology and etiology. The contributors address not only the traditional factors that contribute to the prevention and cessation of drug use, such as peer pressure, community, and parenting, but also important emerging areas of study, such as genetics, race, age, and statistical modeling. They analyze the ways in which drug use etiology links with other areas of behavioral science, and they present the implications the science holds for policy and practice. The resulting volume is an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who grapple with this difficult and persisting social issue."--Jacket.
