PUB DATE Jun 88 NOTE 246p. AVAILABLE FROM Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC10 Plus Postage.

In the second section, recommendations for action are made for prevention of drug abuse that may be achieved through multiple strategies that address the unique characteristics, cultural diversity and structure found in each community in America. The point is made that prevention must be comprehensive, involving all systems (educational, medical, law :nforcement, religious, family, business, etc.), and each community must have a specific plan of action.
