Abstract
Screening and diagnosis of adolescent substance abuse is a challenging but achievable component of primary care practice. Successful integration of these procedures into office visits requires an understanding of prevalence, risk factors, and strategies for prevention and treatment. The authors provide a synopsis of recent advances and important issues in this area and propose a stepwise, evidence-based approach to evaluation of substance abuse in adolescents.
