The Journal of Child & Adolescent Substance Abuse addresses the treatment of substance use in all ages of children. With the growing magnitude of the problem of substance use among children and youth, this is an essential forum for the dissemination of descriptive or investigative efforts with this population. This Journal serves as a vehicle for communication and dissemination of information to the many practitioners and researchers working with these young people.
With this singular mission in mind, the Journal of Child & Adolescent Substance Abuse provides subscribers with one source for obtaining current, useful information regarding state-of-the-art approaches to the strategies and issues in the assessment, prevention, and treatment of adolescent substance use.
The Journal is an interdisciplinary forum geared towards researchers and practitioners for the publication of information on clinical and investigative efforts concerning the assessment, prevention, and treatment of child and adolescent substance use. The primary focus is on the empirical study of child and adolescent substance use utilizing group comparisons, or single-case experimental strategies.
The Journal publishes clinical and research reports from a broad range of disciplines:
- pediatrics
- clinical and counseling psychology
- psychiatry
- family therapy
- sociology
- public health
- rehabilitation
- social work
Case studies that are of special clinical relevance or that describe innovative evaluation and intervention techniques, reviews, and theoretical discussions that contribute substantially to our understanding of child and adolescent substance use are also published. These enable the Journal to provide a unique combination of clinical problems, solutions, and research findings to its readers.
