Abused substances include alcohol, caffeine, prescribed and illegal drugs. The bibliography was compiled from sources including National Library of Medicine searches (e.g., Medline, Popline), published and unpublished documents, research, law, general medicine and nursing journals, public health journals, pharmacology journals, biochemical journals, and newspaper articles. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically and each entry is categorized by subject matter.
