520    "Drug abuse is a major societal problem that damages 
       individuals and communities psychologically, physically, 
       socially, and economically. One way to mitigate these 
       consequences is to prevent drug abuse before it starts, 
       and there is good evidence that this can be done 
       effectively. The goal of this book is to help researchers,
       practitioners, and policy makers prevent drug abuse, 
       primarily among adolescents who either have not used drugs
       before or have just started using them. Highlighting the 
       huge strides that prevention science has made in the past 
       few decades and what still needs to be better understood, 
       Lawrence Scheier, editor of the Handbook of Drug Use 
       Etiology, has gathered eminent experts from various 
       disciplines to create this comprehensive resource. 
       Together, they distill what we know about effective 
       programs and describe strategies to: capitalize on 
       protective factors and curtail risk factors in young 
       people; prevent poor self-regulation and conduct disorders,
       which may lead to drug abuse; promote positive change in 
       families, schools, and larger communities; and implement 
       wide-scale and targeted media campaigns. The evidence-
       based drug prevention programs and strategies described in
       this book can also create secondary benefits by improving 
       overall health and wellness in individuals and 
       communities"--Publicity materials. (PsycINFO Database
