- Summary:
- Alcohol misuse among young people has become a global problem. In this valuable contribution to the field, Saunders (youth substance abuse research, U. of Queensland; medicine, U. of Sydney, Australia) and Rey (psychiatry, Notre Dame U. Medical School, Sydney) introduce 18 chapters in which international contributors treat the scope of the problem; the effects of alcohol on the developing brain; prevention and early intervention in schools, colleges, and the military; and the assessment and treatment of alcohol-related disorders. Summary tables include the stages of adolescent development, effects of alcoholism, clinical assessment criteria and instruments, examples of intervention programs, and relevant studies.
