This volume provides a serious examination of substance use
prevention research and practice as components of the continuum
from health promotion through to prevention and health care in
sub-groups and in the general population. Extensive background
chapters provide portals into the evolution of the field and the
cutting edge research being conducted on the etiology,
epidemiology, and genetics of substance use and abuse. The global
nature and health burden of substance use and abuse incorporates
assessments of the serious problems related to the prevention of
legal substance use (i.e., alcohol and tobacco) and how lessons
learned in those arenas may apply to the prevention of illicit
substance use. Research and practice chapters detail a range of
effective evidence-based programs, policies and practices and
emerging prevention interventions from the literatures on the
family and school contexts in addition to innovations involving
mindfulness and the social media. Continued advancements in
substance use prevention research, practice, training, and policy
are projected. Included among topics addressed are: Progression of
substance use to abuse and substance use disorders The tobacco
prevention experience: a model for substance use prevention? Policy
interventions: intended and unintended influences on substance use
Qualitative methods in the study of psychoactive substance use Use
of media and social media in the prevention of substance use
Supporting prevention science and prevention research
internationally The array of research accomplishments and
real-world methods presented in Prevention of Substance Use merits
the attention of a variety of researchers and practitioners,
including public health professionals, health psychologists, and
epidemiologists.
