Description

This book represents a systematic discussion of the Gateway Hypothesis, a developmental hypothesis formulated to model how adolescents initiate and progress in the use of various drugs.

In the United States, this progression proceeds from the use of tobacco or alcohol to the use of marijuana and other illicit drugs.

This volume presents a critical overview of what is currently known about the Gateway Hypothesis.

The authors of the chapters explore the hypothesis from various perspectives ranging from developmental social psychology to prevention and intervention science, animal models, neurobiology and analytical methodology.

This volume is original and unique in its purview, covering a broad view of the Gateway Hypothesis.

The juxtaposition of epidemiological, intervention, animal and neurobiological studies represents a new stage in the evolution of drug research, in which epidemiology and biology inform one another in the understanding of drug abuse.
