Teen drug use is a critical and timely health issue that deeply
affects adolescent development in a number of important areas,
including social, cognitive, and affective functioning, as well as
long-term health and wellbeing. Trends indicate that drug use is
starting at an earlier age, the potency of several drugs is much
stronger than in the past, and more new drugs are illegally being
manufactured to provide faster, heightened effects. In addition,
illegal use of prescription drugs and drug diversion or the sharing
of prescription medication is also on the rise amongst teens.
Parenting and Teen Drug Use provides comprehensive coverage of the
most current research on youth drug use and prevention, carefully
and meticulously presenting empirical evidence and theoretical
arguments that underlie the mechanisms linking parental
socialization and adolescent drug use. Written by leading experts,
chapters examine the causes and consequences of drug use, the
myriad ways to prevent it, and the latest findings from the
prevention research community regarding what works, with a specific
emphasis on parenting techniques that have shown the most promise
for reducing or preventing drug use in teens. Parenting and Teen
Drug Use will provide valuable insight to a wide audience of
clinicians, treatment providers, school counselors, prevention
experts, social workers, physicians, substance abuse counselors,
students, and those who work with youth on a day-to-day basis to
influence positive youth adaptation.
