Title: Reduction of Drug-Related Harm
Editor(s): P A O'Hare; R Newcombe; A Matthews; E C Buning; E Drucker
Date Published: 1992
Annotation: The international contributors to this book take a new approach to drug use, arguing that abstinence is not a realistic solution and that policymakers should instead strive to reduce the harm associated with the use of illicit drugs.
Abstract: The authors believe that the existing methods of treatment and control have been inadequate in improving drug-related problems. The papers contained here cover a wide range of drugs and of social and individual problems; the spread of HIV infection is considered in some detail. Various chapters describe current theories and practices that have helped to minimize the harmful effects of drugs, national and city-level strategies toward drug problems, and drug policies of international agencies and organizations including police, doctors, community groups, and local authorities. 15 tables and 4 figures
Main Term(s): Drug laws; Drug treatment
Index Term(s): AIDS/HIV prevention; Drug prevention programs
