1.	Substance-Related Disorders (Drug Abuse) 04/01/2000 - "Because, to our knowledge, no other intervention has successfully altered substance abuse by athletes, we developed and assessed the efficacy of a team-centered, sex-specific education program designed to reduce adolescent athletes' intentions to use and use of AS and alcohol and other illicit drugs. " 03/01/2004 - "The purpose of this article is (a) to review studies that have examined the relationship of drug abuse and child neglect, (b) to review clinical treatments that appear to be effective in both perpetrators of child neglect and drug-abusing adolescents, and (c) to integrate empirically validated drug abuse and child neglect interventions for use in adolescent mothers who have been found to abuse drugs and neglect their children." 01/01/2008 - "Although individuals who use illicit drugs are a potentially vulnerable population, there have been no objective evaluations of the effectiveness of standard informed consent procedures in assuring that prospective participants entering drug abuse treatment trials fully understand the nature of the research and treatments in which they have agreed to participate. " 03/15/2006 - "These results suggest that the mouse model of relapse in our study might provide a new stage for the exploration of genetic factors involved in relapse of drug dependence and of the underlying mechanisms of drugs of abuse." 01/01/2006 - "As these may underlie drug dependence and addiction, the purpose of the present study was to examine if different drugs of abuse effect changes in gene expression that converge in common molecular pathways.

2.	Alcoholism (Alcohol Abuse) 10/01/2004 - "The advances, with the discovery of specific receptors and the existence of naturally occurring cannabis-like substances in the mammalian system and brain, have helped in understanding the neurobiological basis for drugs of abuse, including alcoholism.

3.	Schizophrenia (Dementia Praecox) 11/01/2006 - "Although the proof of efficacy of pharmacotherapeutic agents is to be derived ultimately from clinical trials, the preclinical findings that selective antagonism at DA D(3) receptors reduces the reinforcing efficacy of drugs of abuse, reverses cognitive deficits, and shows efficacy in animal models of schizophrenia add to an accumulating body of evidence that selective DA D(3) receptor antagonists may hold highest promise in the treatment of several neuropsychiatric diseases. " 12/01/2006 - "Data from 5 large schizophrenia studies that included the MASC were examined: a study of victimization in women who abuse drugs, a study of health care among people with diabetes, a study of vocational outcomes, a study of social skill among drug abusers, and a clinical trial comparing two antipsychotic medications. " 01/01/2001 - "This study examined how illicit drugs were accessed, reasons for drug use, prevalence of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, psychiatric symptomatology, level of functioning, and the relationship of these factors to substance use in 25 schizophrenia outpatients.

" 12/01/2004 - "Chronic use of drugs of abuse, however, may exacerbate the symptoms of pre-existing mental disorders and subsequently increase drug-taking behavior.

5.	Pain (Aches) 04/01/2009 - "One framework prioritized addiction treatment by emphasizing the destructive consequences of abusing illicit drugs or prescription medications; the other prioritized pain management by focusing on the destructive consequences of untreated pain.
