Summary Why are some people predisposed to drug abuse while others seem to be protected? What are the factors that lead to abuse? "Vulnerability to Drug Abuse" presents the latest research and important new insights into these complex questions. /// Combining new findings with extensive research reviews by the leading experts, "Vulnerability to Drug Abuse" examines the full range of variables that affect vulnerability; biomedical (including genetic), psychological, psychiatric, social, familial, and environmental factors are included. Designed for both researchers and practitioners, this comprehensive text is the authoritative reference for the latest information on: the risk factors and etiology of drug abuse; the results of multidisciplinary and longitudinal studies; integrative models and theories of drug abuse and escalation; methodological issues and approaches [and] research on special populations.
