Accordingly, Epidemiology of Drug Abuse takes the long view, cogently outlining what the book calls "the natural history of drug abuse" and redefining its complex phenomena to reflect our present-day knowledge. Twenty-six eminent contributors discuss the state and future of the field, balancing the practical concerns involved in gathering drug abuse data with the ethics of using the information. - Current thinking on pathways and etiology, as well as medical, psychological, and social sequelae of drug abuse - Proven, up-to-date methodologies for assessment - Challenges of gathering data from high-risk and other user populations - Sampling and application issues - Uses, sources, and limitations of treatment data - Analytical papers applying the methodologies to specific and global studies - The role of epidemiology studies in developing prevention strategies With this multifaceted approach to the subject, Epidemiology of Drug Abuse provides researchers and educators with a reference that sheds significant light on infrequently covered areas. In addition, its breadth and accessibility of coverage make it a teaching text suitable to courses in epidemiology, public health, and drug abuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent overview of the state-of-the-art drug abuse epidemiology provides the necessary information to approach the first step in solving the drug abuse problem--describing and identifying all the elements that contribute to it. These lively and descriptive accounts of drug abuse epidemiology guide drug abuse researchers, public health experts, and social scientists as they gather and evaluate critical drug abuse information for the particular population they serve. Authoritative contributors offer practical advice regarding what works in drug abuse epidemiology, what doesn’t work, and the reasons why. First-hand knowledge on ethnographic strategies, surveillance techniques, and practical approaches for professionals, previously with few resources and little expertise, will keep them on the cutting edge of this field. What Works in Drug Abuse Epidemiology provides a variety of examples of epidemiologic research methods concentrating on three major themes. The approaches and findings of epidemiological efforts nationally and internationally are presented, demonstrating the adaptability of methods under the varying cultural and political climates of the United States, Mexico, Great Britain, and European countries. Chapters are included which offer strategies for studying hard-to-reach populations that are especially at risk, specifically black youth living in ghettos and homeless people in public shelters. Particularly useful to professionals developing epidemiological strategies are discussions of creative, non-traditional studies for such problems as designer drugs, and drug use on the streets of New York City which assist drug abuse epidemiologists in developing strategies to get at the heart of specific drug abuse problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance Use Disorders provides an overview of substance misuse and addresses the neurobiology, pharmacotherapy, and behavioural therapy management of substance use disorders from a clinical perspective. Examining the opioid epidemic to frame its discussion of the epidemiology of substance misuse, this book explores common barriers that prevent the implementation of effective treatment. Chapters discuss various aspects of substance use disorders, particularly opioids, alcohol, cannabis, and cocaine, to inform better conceptualization and management of these conditions. Part of the Primer On Psychiatry series, this book will provide a solid foundation for residents and fellows in psychiatry and addiction medicine and can also be used in clinical practice.

Book excerpt: All across the United States, individuals, families, communities, and health care systems are struggling to cope with substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders. Substance misuse and substance use disorders have devastating effects, disrupt the future plans of too many young people, and all too often, end lives prematurely and tragically. Substance misuse is a major public health challenge and a priority for our nation to address. The effects of substance use are cumulative and costly for our society, placing burdens on workplaces, the health care system, families, states, and communities. The Report discusses opportunities to bring substance use disorder treatment and mainstream health care systems into alignment so that they can address a person's overall health, rather than a substance misuse or a physical health condition alone or in isolation. It also provides suggestions and recommendations for action that everyone-individuals, families, community leaders, law enforcement, health care professionals, policymakers, and researchers-can take to prevent substance misuse and reduce its consequences.
