The multifaceted nature of harmful substance use and gambling
requires interdisciplinary analysis to assess the underlying
causes. What Determines Harm from Addictive Substances and
Behaviours? draws together evidence from twelve disciplines
including anthropology, genetics, neurobiology, and public policy.
Using a developmental approach, the book presents evidence on the
factors that influence the development of harmful substance use and
gambling. The determinants of harm operate at three levels:
molecular, individual, and social. This book brings to light the
complex interplay between them and presents the scientific, social,
economic, political, and psychological influences of harmful
substance use and gambling. These individual determinants are then
synthesised into an integrative heuristic model to encourage new
ways of thinking. The findings from this analysis are used to
elaborate key general implications for health and broader social
policy, clinical practice, and future research. What Determines
Harm from Addictive Substances and Behaviours? is based on research
from ALICE RAP, a multidisciplinary European study of addictive
substances and behaviours in contemporary society. This is an
essential resource for public health professionals, stakeholders
influencing policy for addictive substances and behaviours,
students, and academics looking to better understand the factors
influencing substance use and gambling and the implications this
research has for addiction prevention policy.
