As the drug abuse epidemic evolves, so do the tools needed to
understand and treat it. Accordingly, Epidemiology of Drug Abuse
takes the long view, cogently outlining what the book calls "the
natural history of drug abuse" and redefining its complex phenomena
to reflect our present-day knowledge. Twenty-six eminent
contributors discuss the state and future of the field, balancing
the practical concerns involved in gathering drug abuse data with
the ethics of using the information. - Current thinking on pathways
and etiology, as well as medical, psychological, and social
sequelae of drug abuse - Proven, up-to-date methodologies for
assessment - Challenges of gathering data from high-risk and other
user populations - Sampling and application issues - Uses, sources,
and limitations of treatment data - Analytical papers applying the
methodologies to specific and global studies - The role of
epidemiology studies in developing prevention strategies With this
multifaceted approach to the subject, Epidemiology of Drug Abuse
provides researchers and educators with a reference that sheds
significant light on infrequently covered areas. In addition, its
breadth and accessibility of coverage make it a teaching text
suitable to courses in epidemiology, public health, and drug abuse.
