Abstract
This article is a review of the world-wide efforts of clinicians and researchers in the area of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of multiple substance abuse. Represented are studies in cross-cultural prevention research and substance abuse which address the new and burgeoning area of clinical prevention research from a multidisciplinary perspective. The article also discusses the theory and methods in prevention in New York City, Israel, Italy, Spain, and in Cali, Columbia. The authors hope that this information will result in greater recognition for the need to understand effective measures of drug prevention, and to develop new research directions which shall enrich and enhance our present state of knowledge in substance abuse prevention programming.
