title: A select annotated bibliography: illegal drug research in rural and suburban areas.
abstract: As the diffusion of illegal drugs continues to spread to rural and suburban areas, there is a greater need among illegal drug researchers, law enforcement, and policy makers to gain knowledge from previous work done on what is loosely termed as rural substance abuse research. To help serve that need an annotated bibliography is proffered based on three categories and one method of illegal substance abuse research. These are: drug consumption, drug distribution, drug prices, and ethnography. An exhaustive review of the literature was not undertaken, but rather a focus on research that addresses drug consumption and distribution is put forward.
