An Integrative Perspective on the Etiology of Substance Use

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Prevention of Substance Use

Part of the book series: Advances in Prevention Science ((Adv. Prevention Science))

Abstract

Advances in fields as diverse as sociology, behavioral science, education, developmental psychology, economics, neuroscience, and genetics are catalyzing a critical shift in the way we study the etiological underpinnings of substance use and addiction. As a result, science has entered an era of “demoralizing” substance use and addiction, and has embraced consistent, empirical observations that certain risk and resiliency factors influence the escalation of initial experimentation to problematic proportions. Increasing the precision of preventive and treatment approaches can be guided by our growing knowledge of underlying mechanisms in both etiological pathways and individual variability in intervention responsivity. This chapter presents the most recent conceptualization of these pathways defined by an “ecobiodevelopmental” theoretical framework.
