The contributors--all experienced researchers and service providers in the chemical abuse field--clarify the negative impact that substance abusers can have on the health, welfare, and productivity of others, document the increased risk of becoming substance abusers that children of substance abusers face, and examine the major causes and correlates of chemical dependency in youth.
