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 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Drug abuse -- Epidemiology Drug abuse -- Research -- Methodology Drugs of abuse.
