註釋
This publication assembles review papers by leading researchers in the field of youth and drugs, and is intended to provide front-line professionals with an overview of current findings in adolescent development, drug use, assessment, and intervention strategies. The first two chapters address background issues and research findings in the areas of adolescent development and youth substance abuse, covering such topics as health risk behaviours, characteristics of users, and problem-behaviour theory. Legal issues in the assessment and treatment of alcohol and drug problems are explored in depth in chapter 3. Areas covered include principles of consent to treatment, the concepts of confidentiality and privilege, reporting and record-keeping obligations, and the potential criminal liability concerns for professionals that may arise in the course of treating drug users. The final three chapters review identification and assessment methods, along with intervention strategies including family counselling.
