SAMHSA/CSAP is committed to meeting the prevention needs of all populations nad age groups in our society. As a result, this Resource Guide was developed to provide important information on locating appropriate resources related to substance abuse prevention among the elderly. We have included articles and reports from peer-reviewed journals and books, lists of materials with clear prevention messages, and a referral list of other groups, organizations, and programs.
