About this title

Synopsis

Using data from an ongoing longitudinal study of adolescents and young adults, this provocative volume examines the frequency, prevalence, and types of disruptive drug use in the workplace and in schools. The findings provide essential information for developing effective long-term prevention and education programs which focus on creating a drug-free work environment that is responsive to the needs of both employers and employees.
