Abstract
This second edition of Adolescent Substance Abuse updates the progress made in treatment and prevention interventions for the misuse of substances since the first edition. It adds specific new treatment and prevention chapters in addition to examining the social, behavioral, and biological factors contributing to misuse. The applauded standardized chapter format used in the first edition that identifies evidenced-based approaches that work, might work, and do not work is maintained when appropriate. This second edition of Adolescent Substance Abuse is a thoughtful thorough distillation of the research on substance abuse treatment and prevention that offers clear guidance to students, practitioners, researchers, and policy-makers in the treatment and prevention of substance abuse.
