"Given the current crisis in adolescent mental health services, this timely handbook is a valuable and enlightening contribution to discussion, training and education. It explains the why and how of substance misuse among young people and gives guidance on what to do. The overall framing derives from addiction psychiatry but is relevant to all professions in today’s multi-disciplinary, multi-agency set of services. Succinct, clear and accessible chapters include comprehensive literature and evidence reviews, demonstrate the critical issue of complexity and show the way forward for prevention and early intervention."- Professor Susanne MacGregor, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine"Drug use generally starts when people are young so it is vital to understand the roles played by various factors in order to improve prevention, minimise immediate and enduring associated harms and optimise treatment. This book brings together a range of experts to provide the latest evidence alongside pragmatic advice in all these areas. It is a vital resource as specialist knowledge and services may be hard to access resulting in a large unmet need."- Professor Anne Lingford-Hughes, Professor of Addiction Biology, Imperial College London & Hon Consultant Psychiatrist, Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust.
