Résumé :
Despite the allocation of significant resources to drug prevention in Australia, youth drug use remains a significant concern to the community. To date, most drug prevention efforts have been directed towards encouraging individuals not to use or misuse drugs. This report, commissioned by the Australian National Council on Drugs, aimed to provide information on macro-environmental influences on youth drug use, and how government policies and programs (structures) can positively or negatively influence those macro-environmental factors to prevent drug use and harms. The macro-environmental influences investigated were the economic, social and physical environments. The review was preceded by a description of recent research into early childhood and developmental transitions. It was noted that early childhood and periods of transition are critically important in the psychosocial development of children. Macro-environmental factors and structures can facilitate or impede this development, directly or indirectly via the family. (Extract of the publication)
