  • Published:
Journal of Primary Prevention Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

With the growing recognition that most illicit drug users and heavy drinkers are members of the work force, the workplace has become an increasingly significant, though still underutilized, vehicle for the delivery of substance abuse prevention services. This paper discusses some of the chief reasons for engaging in substance abuse prevention in the workplace; outlines the foundations of workplace prevention services; and reviews recent research on workplace substance abuse prevention, including the major preventive interventions aimed at the workplace environment and the individual worker. The paper closes with a discussion of future programming and research on the delivery of workplace prevention services.
