"Overall, the book is well written ... Consequently, Dodge and colleagues offer an insightful, empirically based model which provides a plausible explanation for how risk factors interact with each other during a transitional period of development for children and adolescents." (Social Psychological Review, 2011)

 

The book offers an extensive exploration of the childhood factors that can lead to substance abuse.

  • Puts forward a dynamic cascade model of the development of adolescent substance-use onset
  • Model is based on broad sampling of children from prekindergarten through to Grade 12
  • The results offer practical suggestions for interventions, public policies, and economics of substance-use and future inquiry
