Abstract
The use of substances for medical or nonmedical reasons occurs in most cultures. Regardless of the reason for use, however, most types of substance use (or drug-taking behaviors) have their associated problem states. The prevention of substance use problems is an important issue and need in every society. In this review we present and discuss various models and factors that purport to describe and predict patterns of drug use, and we discuss various strategies to prevent the occurrence of substance use problems.
