Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School-based drug prevention, popular with the public and politicians alike, is now a nearly universal experience for American youth. Analysis has shown that the best programs can reduce use of a wide range of substances. But questions remain regarding how to think about and, hence, fund, these programs. Should they be viewed principally as weapons in the war against illicit drugs, or, at the other extreme, do prevention programs benefit students and society most by reducing use of alcohol and tobacco? The authors address these questions by comparing for the first time the social benefits of school-based prevention programs' long-run impacts on a diverse set of different substances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug use prevention programs are now commonplace in the nation's schools. Their aim is to prevent, or at least delay or diminish, children's use of a variety of substances, including illicit drugs such as marijuana and cocaine and licit substances such as alcohol and tobacco. It is now well established that school-based drug prevention can work to reduce drug consumption, at least in the short run. We emphasize can because large sums of money are still poured into programs whose effectiveness is dubious. However, there are proven models available for implementation. Most successful drug prevention programs are not targeted to specific substances. Which drugs, then, do they affect? Besides differing in the legality of their use, drugs differ in the cost burden they place on society. Where are the benefits of a drug prevention program realized? Through a reduction in crime related to the cocaine market? Through fewer traffic accidents and higher productivity associated with lower alcohol use? Or through less money spent caring for the health of smokers? To put the question more provocatively, are school-based drug prevention programs better viewed as a weapon in the "war" against illegal drugs or as a public health program for decreasing the adverse effects of licit substances?

This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
