TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Methodological and Substantive Issues in Substance Abuse Prevention Research: An Integration JO - American behavioral scientist A1 - Johnson, C. Anderson A1 - Farquhar, J. W. A1 - Sussman, Steve SP - 935 EP - 942 VL - 39 IS - 7 N2 - This article summarizes current issues in drug abuse prevention research through integration of other articles in this journal and by heeding historical trends in prevention science. Recommendations are made for future research directions.

Accuracy of measurement and replication are of paramount importance.
