Each chapter dealing with interventions reviews the evidence of effectiveness of competing methods and uses a standard method to indicate the strength of evidence, thereby making comparisons very easy. Although there are specialist textbooks on all aspects of addiction, this book brings together information in the framework used in the policy documents in the UK. ... Read more

Product Description
Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention focuses on a key problem of our national welfare:the reduction of use and abuse of substances known to endanger health, such as alcohol, illicit drugs, and tobacco.With the number of deaths related to the consumption of alcohol in the US at 100,000 per year, the cost of addictions is predicted to rise to a staggering $150 billion annually.

Many strategies for preventing substance abuse are being applied by governmental agencies and healthcare providers to reduce addictions.This selection of concise reviews by leading experts-much of it gleaned from NIH-funded research-highlights specific methodologies and approaches targeted for selected populations, including: promotions and incentives in the workplace • the cost of drugs in the context of economic change • programs for cigarette, alcohol, and hard drug abuse prevention • drug prevention in minority groups • substance abuse problems among religious groups professing abstinence • family treatment of alcoholism • adolescent alcohol treatment • training teachers for substance abuse prevention • prevention of substance abuse in women • programs for girls.

Unique in scope and approach, this initial volume of Drug & Alcohol Abuse Reviews provides valuable new insight-to both professional and layperson alike-into this special set of problems confronting today's society. ... Read more

Product Description
Because of the special needs of IV drug abusers and their sexual partners, an AIDS intervention program designed for this population should address multiple objectives and requires multilevel, highly integrated interventions. This book suggests that the intervention should be community-based to be effective in reaching the greatest numbers of the target population, particularly any hidden population such as the IV drug abuse treatment programs. Such interventions should be designed to: (a) prepare various members of the community for forthcoming AIDS preventitive efforts, (b) overcome barriers to high-risk-behaviour change, and (c) bring about high-risk behaviour change among those in the community. ...
