Over 20 percent of eighth graders claim they have been drunk at least once. The consequences include reduced academic potential, addiction, illness, risky and illegal behavior and even suicide and murder. In this collection of 19 articles contributors write for fellow professionals by describing how alcohol use appears in the younger population, how it starts and what causes it, who is most at risk and what the consequences tend to be in the short and long term. They describe adolescent neurobiology and what alcohol does to memory and other functions and examine comprehensive approaches toward prevention and research being done on the impact of policies to reduce underage drinking. They describe programs to address co-occurring disorders, cognitive-behavioral and family therapies, and assessment issues particular to adolescent drug abuse treatment research.
