Prevention of adolescent drug abuse.
The prevention of drug abuse has been of public concern since the mid-1960s. Research efforts to document program effectiveness have met with relatively little success. Past research efforts are reviewed. Research on social pressures and social skills training approaches to smoking prevention is reviewed in detail because of the promise these approaches hold for the prevention of drug abuse. Future research needs are identified.
