Synopsis "preventing harmful substance use: the evidence base for policy and practice"

contributors to this volume provide authoritative, up-to-date, science-based reviews of knowledge on their areas of expertise. they then make clear recommendations for the future of prevention policy and practice. divided into seven sections, each section is organized around settings, populations and methods rather than drug types or legal status. these include patterns of drug use and related health, economic and social costs, the effectiveness of early life stage interventions, the effectiveness of community interventions, alternative regulatory approaches to minimizing harm, broader perspectives from major reviews of the evidence base, plus perspectives on the nature and use of research evidence. the final section overviews the contributions that can be made from the broad range of relevant disciplines and offers a framework for an integrated science of prevention.
