This book attempts to answer several questions raised in current drug policy debates. Developing cost-effective drug programs and policies require a sound knowledge of drug users and their characteristics and the relationship across drugs. Who are the drug users? Can demographic factors help towards predicting drug usage? What sub-population groups should be targeted for drug campaigns and educational programs? Can a drug policy aimed at discouraging the use of one drug likely affect the use of other drugs which are its economic substitutes or complements? What are the implications of drug use? Policymakers and researchers in the area of health and social development would find this book very useful.Developments in Health Economics and Public Policy,0927-4987 ;11Medical economicsSocial policyHealth promotionHealth Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W35000Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020Health Promotion and Disease Preventionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010Medical economics.Social policy.Health promotion.Health Economics.Social Policy.Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.338.476151Ramful Srivastava Pratimaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1424581BOOK9910739449203321Recreational Drug Consumption3553883UNINA
