The Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth is an important first step in remedying this gap in the literature and for getting at the heart of the psychosocial factors that promote and sustain drug use among minority youth. The book's chapters evolved from a program of research funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Cornell University Medical College's Institute for Prevention Research concerning drug abuse prevention with multi-ethnic youth.

This text attempts to describe, illustrate and discuss the problem of substance abuse, current theory and research in causes and risk factors and alternative intervention approaches. These issues span the topics of epidemiology, treatment, prevention, programme planning and evaluation.
