Bücher von Shane (University of New South Wales

The rate of illicit drug use worldwide has risen dramatically, and with it the number of deaths reported among drug-using populations. In this book, Shane Darke and his team provide the first full, synthetic review of the epidemiology, causes, prevalence, interventions, demography, and associated risk factors of illicit-drug-related mortality.

The first book to apply a biographical approach to the life of heroin users from birth until death, including childhood, routes to use, the development of dependence, problems arising from addiction and treatment/prevention options. An important resource for clinicians, researchers and students in drug/alcohol studies and public health.
