Since 1992, marijuana use among 8th graders has tripled, among 10th
graders it has nearly doubled, and its use among high school
seniors has increased by 50 percent. The use of other illicit drugs
is also heavily on the rise. Yet, there exists very little research
and literature on the etiology and prevention of drug abuse among
those most at risk--disadvantaged, inner-city, minority youth. The
Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth is an
important first step in remedying this gap in the literature and
for getting at the heart of the psychosocial factors that promote
and sustain drug use among minority youth.The book's chapters
evolved from a program of research funded by the National Institute
on Drug Abuse and Cornell University Medical College's Institute
for Prevention Research concerning drug abuse prevention with
multi-ethnic youth. So that you might learn effective strategies
for intervening with at-risk adolescents and teenagers, The
Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth
discusses: correlates and predictors of alcohol and drug use
community-based skills interventions how youths offset feelings of
distress or self-derogation by bonding with deviant peers the
advantages of community-oriented outreach programs the role of
cultural factors as they shape vulnerability to adolescent alcohol
and drug use the role of ethnic identity as a moderator of
psychosocial risk for alcohol and marijuana use the needs of youth
at high risk for future use preventing gateway drug use drug use
among youth living in homeless shelters the conditions of public
housing and how they affect the etiology of drug abuseAn essential
tool for policymakers, social workers, clinicians, researchers,
psychiatrists, and other professionals in chemical dependency and
narcotics rehabilitation, The Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse
Among Minority Youth provides you with vital insight on the causes
of drug use among minority adolescents, the strengths and
limitations of different intervention approaches, and incentive to
find appropriate ways for working with at-risk, minority teenagers.
