A major national goal is to improve our health and advance our
opportunities to pursue happiness. Simulta neously, there are
increasing health care costs and increasing demands to accomplish
more with less financial support. Treatment costs can be reduced
and health improved by preventing the toxic effects of drugs. This
first volume of our new series, Drug and Alcohol to reduce the use
and Abuse Reviews, focuses on stategies abuse of common compounds
known to cause major damage to health: alcohol, tobacco, and
illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin. With the number of deaths
attributable to the consumption of alcohol in the US at about
100,000 per year, the annual cost of addictions will be $150
billion by 1995. A variety of approaches to preventing drug abuse
are being applied by governmental agencies and health care
providers to reduce costs. These include school-based inter
ventions, driver education programs, media interventions, health
warning labels, physician guidance, economic dis incentives,
restricted availability, punishments and penalties, environmental
protections, and social-support approaches. With such a range of
options, it becomes critical to evaluate and choose the most
effective systems for a given population. We feel that the present
collection of critical survey articles constitutes a thorough
examination of the issues and strategies associated with
prevention, and trust that readers will find the book exceedingly
helpful in under standing and planning what needs to be done."
