Risk Factors in Adolescent Substance Abuse: Treatment and Management Implications.

Thomas, Connie S.; Schandler, Steven L.

Discusses research on adolescent substance abuse risk factors and their role in the management of adolescent substance abuse disorders.

Effective techniques require individual assessments, including the context in which substances are used. (RJM)
