This text provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the
essential aspects of youth substance abuse-an important
contemporary personal, social, and public health issue. Humans have
been using natural and synthetic chemicals for at least two
millennia-primarily for the purpose of treating medical problems,
but also for recreational purposes. The 2014 Monitoring the Future
survey of eighth, tenth, and twelfth grade students indicates a
general decline in the use of illicit drugs over the last two
decades. On the other hand, perceptions among youth that certain
types of drug use-like marijuana and e-cigarettes-are harmless are
growing. Youth Substance Abuse: A Reference Handbook provides an
overview of the history and development of youth substance abuse
along with a discussion of the medical, social, psychological,
legal, and economic issues associated with youth substance abuse
both in the United States and other parts of the world. The book
begins with a comprehensive introduction to the subject of youth
substance abuse that explains how modern societies have reached the
point where abuse of both legal and illegal substances is a major
health issue in many nations. Readers will learn about the effects
of substances such as cocaine, marijuana, and heroin as well as
substances that are typically legal but have deleterious health,
social, or psychological effects, such as tobacco, alcohol,
prescription drugs, and electronic cigarettes. Subsequent chapters
address how and why youth substance abuse has become a problem in
the United States and other countries, the demographics of this
widespread problem, the direct and indirect effects of youth
substance abuse and addiction, and the range of services and
methods that are available for treating substance abuse. Presents
individual perspectives on youth substance abuse issues that
provide readers with a very personal outlook on specific aspects of
the topic Provides readers with broad coverage of current issues
and topics in substance abuse by adolescents as well as a
historical perspective of how this problem has developed in the
United States over the past century Includes a chapter of primary
documents sourced from a number of laws and court cases dealing
with various aspects of youth substance abuse
