This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All across the United States, individuals, families, communities, and health care systems are struggling to cope with substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders. Substance misuse and substance use disorders have devastating effects, disrupt the future plans of too many young people, and all too often, end lives prematurely and tragically. Substance misuse is a major public health challenge and a priority for our nation to address. The effects of substance use are cumulative and costly for our society, placing burdens on workplaces, the health care system, families, states, and communities. The Report discusses opportunities to bring substance use disorder treatment and mainstream health care systems into alignment so that they can address a person's overall health, rather than a substance misuse or a physical health condition alone or in isolation. It also provides suggestions and recommendations for action that everyone-individuals, families, community leaders, law enforcement, health care professionals, policymakers, and researchers-can take to prevent substance misuse and reduce its consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of how to reduce risk factors for mental disorders has expanded remarkably as a result of recent scientific advances. This study, mandated by Congress, reviews those advances in the context of current research and provides a targeted definition of prevention and a conceptual framework that emphasizes risk reduction. Highlighting opportunities for and barriers to interventions, the book draws on successful models for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, injuries, and smoking. In addition, it reviews the risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse and dependence, depressive disorders, and conduct disorders and evaluates current illustrative prevention programs. The models and examination provide a framework for the design, application, and evaluation of interventions intended to prevent mental disorders and the transfer of knowledge about prevention from research to clinical practice. The book presents a focused research agenda, with recommendations on how to develop effective intervention programs, create a cadre of prevention researchers, and improve coordination among federal agencies.

Pathways of Addiction provides a strategic outline for wise investment of the nation's research resources in drug abuse.

Download or read book Health Care written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed comprehensive community-based programs related to drug abuse prevention and evaluated the methods two federal agencies used to recognize exemplary programs. GAO noted that: (1) rather than addressing drug abuse prevention directly, many successful programs used an indirect approach by embedding drug abuse prevention in the context of program activities; (2) many of the programs aimed broadly at empowering youths with the range of skills necessary to make positive, constructive, and healthful choices; (3) some of the programs engaged in goal- or product-oriented activities rather than passive classroom lectures or group discussions; (4) many programs employed a cultural perspective to teach youth self-respect by helping them to take pride in their cultural heritage; (5) structure and discipline were emphasized in program design and in working with individual youth; and (6) many programs were in the first two stages of evaluation, 90 percent were collecting data, and 42 percent had not yet analyzed their data. GAO believes that: (1) solutions to the nation's drug abuse problem will come faster when evaluation of program effectiveness becomes the main test for action, funding, and recognition; and (2) the underlying policies of the recognition efforts unnecessarily limited the search for successful programs.
