Understanding diversity will help break down barriers to effective
treatment and research of substance dependence. In this textbook,
the author defines what is meant by diversity and reviews what we
know today about the effects of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana,
cocaine and crack, hallucinogens and heroin. This is then put into
a broader context by examining the development of policy with
particular emphasis on those who were perceived to be the most
fervent users of substance. Communities examined include: + African
Americans; + Asian and Pacific Islanders; + Hispanic / Latinos; +
Women; + Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender. The book concludes
with guidelines for the integration of diversity considerations
into treatment programs for and research procedures within these
communities. This is a useful textbook for classes on substance
abuse and will also help the seasoned clinician to break down
barriers in the understanding and treatment of substance dependence
within specific communities.
