Monitoring the Future: National Survey Results on Drug Use 1975-2007

Volume I: Secondary School Students 2007 (707 pp., NIH Publication No. 08-6418A). Volume II: College Students and Adults Ages 19-45 (319 pp., NIH Publication No. 08-6418B). Lloyd D. Johnson, Patrick M. O'Malley, Jerald G. Bachman, John E. Schulenberg.  Bethesda, MD:  National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 2008. 

The Monitoring the Future (MTF) study is an ongoing series of national surveys of American adolescents and adults that has provided the nation with a vital window into the important, but largely hidden, problem behaviors of illegal drug use, alcohol use, tobacco use, anabolic steroid use, and psychotherapeutic drug use.  For nearly a third of a century, the study has provided a clearer view of the changing topography of these problems among adolescents and young and middle-aged adults, a better understanding of the dynamics of factors that drive some of these problems, and a better understanding of some of their consequences.  It has also given policy-makers and nongovernmental organizations in the field some approaches for intervention.

Both volumes are also available as PDFs on the Monitoring the Future web site:  http://www.monitoringthefuture.org/pubs.html

Trauma Services for Women in Substance Abuse Treatment: An Integrated Approach

Denise Hien, Lisa Caren Litt, Lisa R. Cohen, Gloria M. Miele, Aimee Campbell.  Washington, DC: American Psychological Association, 2009, 321pp.  ISBN: 978-1-4338-0410-6.

Clinicians seeking to treat women experiencing both a history of trauma and the effects of substance abuse will find this book to be a hands-on guide.  The intertwined nature of trauma and addiction is explored through a review of recent research, with a focus on treatment options for post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction.  Vital background material describes the effects of trauma on emotion regulation, interpersonal functioning, parenting, and physical health.  The book also addresses the many real-world challenges clinicians face in implementing trauma-focused therapeutic approaches in community-based substance abuse treatment.

The authors of this book helped lead the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network protocol on women and trauma, as well as a variety of other clinical studies on trauma and addiction.
