"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." "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."--Jacket
