The research is used as a foundation to focus on the latest advances of substance abuse prevention and culturally competent intervention programs.Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment is essential reading for educators, students, practitioners working with Latino/a populations, and substance abuse researchers.
