"Adolescent Relationships and Drug Use" explores the communicative
and relational features of adolescent drug use. It focuses on peer
norms, risk, and protective factors and considers how drugs are
offered to adolescents, examining such factors as who makes the
offers and how they are resisted, where the offers take place, and
what relationship exists between the persons making the offers and
the persons receiving them. Unlike other studies of drug
resistance, this work examines the communication processes that
affect adolescents' ability to effectively resist drug offers.
Michelle Miller and her colleagues study how personal qualities,
communication skills, and relationships with others affect an
individual's ability to resist offers of drugs.
This volume provides a detailed analysis of drug resistance in the
context of such factors as relationships, types of drugs, family
and peer group relationships, personality, and situations. It
places drug use and resistance in a living, relational context, and
offers the first comprehensive communication and relational
approach to drug resistance. The authors argue for the development
of a relational and communication competence model of drug
resistance, and suggest unique approaches for future drug
prevention efforts.
In describing the social and relational processes of drug
resistance and then linking intervention techniques to the
adolescents' relational world, this work makes a major contribution
toward understanding drug use among adolescents. It informs
relationship, communication, and psychology research, assists drug
and health research by presenting new ways of considering the
issue, and enlightens drug resistance practice by demonstrating a
new approach to prevention. As such, it makes an effective and
invaluable contribution to the ongoing efforts to reduce drug use
among adolescents.
