2. Biospychosocial Nature of Substance Abuse

Find a scholarly journal article (NOT just information posted on a website!) that relates to the biopsychosocial nature of substance use/abuse/misuse. Your article should be no more than 5 years old.

Post a 8-10 sentence summary of what you learn from the article (i.e., main points), include the citation and a link to the article so that we all may read it. Attach the article to your post so that others may review and discuss in their peer posts. Note: do not simply look at the abstract and post some words that you see included there. Read the entire article and provide a solid summary/synthesis of the information in your post. Do not quote material from the article.
