Alcohol and Illicit Drug Use in the Workforce and Workplace

In this authoritative book, Michael R. Frone takes a close look at what we know and don't know about workforce and workplace substance involvement. In doing so, he exposes the lack of evidence behind many popular myths regarding employee substance involvement. Frone's review covers research conducted over the past 30 years, and he analyzes methodological limitations and the tendency to "go beyond the data" when interpreting results. Given the need for evidence-based management and policy, this book will be a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners in management, occupational health, and addiction treatment and prevention.
