Extensive background chapters provide portals into the evolution of the field and the cutting edge research being conducted on the etiology, epidemiology, and genetics of substance use and abuse. The global nature and health burden of substance use and abuse incorporates assessments of the serious problems related to the prevention of legal substance use (i.e., alcohol and tobacco) and how lessons learned in those arenas may apply to the prevention of illicit substance use.  Research and practice chapters detail a range of effective evidence-based programs, policies and practices and emerging prevention interventions from the literatures on the family and school contexts in addition to innovations involving mindfulness and the social media. Continued advancements in substance use prevention research, practice, training, and policy are projected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded among topics addressed are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgression of substance use to abuse and substance use disorders\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe tobacco prevention experience: a model for substance use prevention?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolicy interventions: intended and unintended influences on substance use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQualitative methods in the study of psychoactive substance use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of media and social media in the prevention of substance use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting prevention science and prevention research internationally\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe array of research accomplishments and real-world methods presented in \u003ci\u003ePrevention of Substance Use \u003c\/i\u003emerits the attention of a variety of researchers and practitioners, including public health professionals, health psychologists, and epidemiologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1:  Introduction to Substance Use.- \u003c\/b\u003eSubstance Use and the Brain Across the Lifespan.- Epidemiology of Substance Use Internationally.- An Integrative Perspective on the Etiology of Substance Use       .- Genetics and Epigenetics of Substance Use.- Progression of Substance Use to Abuse and Substance Use Disorders.- The Tobacco Prevention Experience—A Model for Substance Use Prevention?.- Alcohol Marketing and Promotion.- \u003cb\u003ePart 2:  Effective Prevention Interventions and Strategies for Substance Use.- \u003c\/b\u003eFamily Processes and Evidence-Based Prevention Interventions.- The School: A Setting for Evidence-Based Prevention.- Policy Interventions:  Intended and Unintended Influences on Substance Use.- Brief Interventions as Evidence-Based Prevention Strategies.- ATOD Prevention in Diverse Communities—Research and Receptivity.- \u003cb\u003ePart 3:  Methodological Challenges.- \u003c\/b\u003eQualitative Methods in the study of Psychoactive Substance Use.- Monitoring Trends-Use of Local Data.- The Importance of Mediational Analysis.- Sub-Group Analysis: “What Works Best For Whom and Why?”.- Adaptive Intervention Designs in Substance Use Prevention.- Ethical Issues in Substance Use Prevention Research.- \u003cb\u003ePart 4:  Emerging Areas.- \u003c\/b\u003eCreating Persuasive Substance Use Prevention Messages: The EQUIP Model.- Use of Media and Social Media in the Prevention of Substance Use.- A Role for Mindfulness and Mindfulness Training in Substance Use Prevention.- \u003cb\u003ePart 5:  Future Challenges.- \u003c\/b\u003eMicrotrials and Idiographic Research.- Dissemination of Evidence-Based Prevention Interventions and Policies.- Supporting Prevention Science and Prevention Research Internationally.- The Prevention Specialist Workforce.- Prevention Systems: Structure and challenges-Europe as an Example.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516319752535,"sku":"9783030006259","price":104.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/prevention-of-substance-use-9783030006259","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
