Book Synopsis Adolescent Substance Abuse by : John S Wodarski
Download or read book Adolescent Substance Abuse written by John S Wodarski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a comprehensive review of adolescent substance abuse issues and an expansive, empirically based curriculum for school-based programs to teach adolescents about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. The abuse of alcohol and other drugs among young people is a problem of alarming scope and gravity. Adolescent Substance Abuse explores the multiple forces which impact adolescents and can push them toward drug and alcohol abuse. Adolescent Substance Abuse proposes means by which to effect macro-level change in societal norms and values regarding substance abuse. The authors describes in detail an effective means of teaching adolescents about drugs and alcohol using an empirically based teaching method called Teams-Games-Tournaments (TGT). TGT was developed through extensive research on games used as teaching devices. It uses small groups as classroom work units and capitalizes on peer influence by using peers as teachers and supporters. The book explains an effective curriculum which utilizes the TGT approach and provides a program for parents. The curriculum is unique in that it is anchored in empirical data and delivered via adolescent peer groups. Adolescent Substance Abuse addresses other issues pertinent to the reduction of adolescent substance abuse by exploring subsystems of change, including school and peer group environments, home and family, the media, community movements, and business and industry. The book is a great source of innovative ideas for beginning and expert counselors, social workers, mental health professionals, school psychologists, and others who want to prevent adolescent abuse of drugs and alcohol.

Book Synopsis The Family Context of Adolescent Drug Use by : Robert H Coombs
Download or read book The Family Context of Adolescent Drug Use written by Robert H Coombs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an essential volume for educators, social workers, health care professionals, and parents who are frustrated by the consuming power of drugs over the lives of young people and looking for answers to this enormous problem. In this unique and highly practical volume, experts concentrate on the family--the foundation of mental health and social control--as the most positive force in the prevention of adolescent drug use. Despite the “war on drugs,” young people in large numbers continue to use substances. This instructive guide focuses on educating and strengthening families--which makes stronger children who are less likely to use drugs--instead of the traditional efforts based on rehabilitation instead of prevention. It offers instructive background information about societal forces that affect families and make it difficult to raise drug-free youngsters. Family differences are discussed, such as family structure, parenting styles, ethnic and cultural characteristics. Contributors thoroughly examine practical, effective interventions--at home, at school, and with peers--that are positive rather than negative, instructional rather than punitive, and preventive instead of remedial.

Book Synopsis Youth and Their Families by : Julie Anne Laser-Maira
Download or read book Youth and Their Families written by Julie Anne Laser-Maira and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though a number of books covering adolescent substance abuse are available, there are very few resources that explore the topic in the context of Family Systems Therapy (FST). Youth and Their Families offers an expanded view of the therapeutic process with a specific focus on the relationship between therapists, adolescents, families, communities, and substance use. By applying an FST lens, the clinician learns to view their client as an entire family system being affected by adolescent substance abuse. Furthermore, FST can be used at every stage of the substance abuse intervention continuum (from prevention to intervention) to provide increased functioning and strength in the family system. This book incorporates easily applicable clinical skill acquisition with the use of lively cases to give the reader requisite skills to be an effective family systems therapist.
Book Synopsis Peer Influence, Family Bonding, and Adolescent Drug Use by : Tonya Camille Hucks
Download or read book Peer Influence, Family Bonding, and Adolescent Drug Use written by Tonya Camille Hucks and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent figures from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (1997) report that 54.3% of high school seniors reported using an illicit drug at least once in their lives. A larger percentage of adolescent males (22.1%) than females (20.5%) engage in illicit drugs (National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, 1998). Previous research has suggested that one of the strongest predictors of adolescent drug abuse is peer influence (Hawkins, Catalano, & Miller, 1992). Recently, Mears et al. (1998) suggested that delinquent peers have a greater effect on the drug use of males than females. In addition, research has implicated the role of the family in the drug behaviors of adolescents (Baumrind, 1985). Concerning gender differences within the family, Cernkovich & Giordano (1987) suggest that girls who have a close and positive family relationship have a lower incidence of delinquent behavior than boys who have the same relationship. Although this finding was based on delinquent behavior rather than drug use, it suggests that the relationship between the quality of family relationships and drug use may be stronger among females than males. The primary aims of this study were to 1) examine the relationships of peer influence and family bonding to drug use and 2) examine gender as a moderator of those relationships. Participants were 131 male and female teenagers who participated in a demonstration program for high-risk youth in Bloomington, Indiana. This project was a secondary analysis of the baseline data collected from a sample about to participate in a national study of high-risk youth. Participants were recruited from juvenile courts in the Bloomington, Indiana area. Most students were recruited because they were facing probation due to delinquent behavior. Results reveal there were no evidence of a relationship of family bonding to adolescent drug use and no differences between male and female participants in the relationships of either peer influence or family bonding to adolescent drug use. Furthermore, for both models, the factor of peer influence contributed more to adolescent drug use than family bonding. Findings supported previous literature about the relationship of peer influence to adolescent drug use. An important implication of the findings is the need to address peer influence when designing prevention programs for this age group.
